Local sky character in Prokuplje
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 259 m elevation

- About 84.2% 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 17.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 259 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Prokuplje is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
