Help me improve my observations with better gear via Patreon: Related Playlist: The tall tower (GPS: 30°17'“N, 90°18'”W) is listed in FAA Obstacle data under the reference number ORS# 22-001038 which provides the height of the tower at 210ft (above ground level) and 211ft (above mean sea level). The tower is ~15.9 miles from the observer. A rough, but pretty good estimate of the observer height is around 30-50ft. Given this information we'd expect to see 170 - 190ft of the tower above the horizon, which is consistent with these observations.
