When will the Milky Way be visible in Slavonski Brod in 2027?
Nights in each month when the Milky Way core stands more than 10° above the horizon for at least an hour of moonless astronomical darkness. At 45.2° north the core peaks at about 16° high, so a clear southern horizon matters. These are calculated positions of the sun, moon and Milky Way; whether a night is clear is only known closer to the date.
