Local sky character in Novo Brdo
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1029 m elevation

- About 83.9% 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 18.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 1029 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Novo Brdo is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
