Local sky character in Killarney
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 6 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 25.1° above the horizon, so stars within 25° of it never set from here.
- About 71.2% 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 36° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 6 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Killarney is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
