Local sky character in Bay Roberts

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 9 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 47.6° above the horizon, so stars within 48° of it never set from here.
About 86.9% 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 13.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 9 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
