Local sky character in Trelew
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 14 m elevation

- About 84.3% 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 75.8° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 14 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
