Local sky character in Kirsehir

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 997 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 39.1° above the horizon, so stars within 39° of it never set from here.
About 81.6% 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 21.9° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 997 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
