I have often seen the formula “90 degrees minus your Latitude” to determine what celestial objects are visible from your location.
So, for my location of Brisbane at 27.5 S, I would expect to be able to view objects up to 62.5 degrees N declination? Such objects would be right on the horizon.
As I write, I’ve just launched The Sky and selected a star (Dubhe) on the N horizon and it has a Dec of +61 degrees.
Cheers
