- About 81% 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 227 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
