Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 28 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 22.2° above the horizon, so stars within 22° of it never set from here.

- The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 38.8° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 28 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
