Local sky character in Geylegphug

- About 72.6% 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 34.1° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 221 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Geylegphug is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
