About 83.1% 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 19.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 44 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
