Local sky character in Ashmun

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 19 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 30.3° above the horizon, so stars within 30° of it never set from here.
About 75.2% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 30.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 19 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
