Local sky character in Ufa

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 158 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 54.7° above the horizon, so stars within 55° of it never set from here.
About 90.8% 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 6.3° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 158 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
