Local sky character in Kwail-up

- About 81.1% 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 22.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 19 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Kwail-up is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
