	Regarding the first criterion, there is no reason ''half'' of the celestial sphere should be seen in a given location, because the altitude angle to something (like a star) will never reach zero if it is physically higher than the observer. All stars would remain above the horizon from an observers perspective, and the proportion of the celestial sphere visible would entirely depend on visibility conditions (i.e., fog, clouds etc.).
