Local sky character in Seeb

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 7 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 23.7° above the horizon, so stars within 24° of it never set from here.
About 70.1% 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 37.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
At 7 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
