- Opelt: 5.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 265°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 176°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,016 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.6° high at azimuth 81°, 29.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:12 UTC, when this page was served.
