From city lights to deep space

Urban astronomy is not for the fainthearted, but persevere and you will find a wealth of celestial treasures that await discovery, even under bright night skies.

Many are visible even in brightly lit urban areas. Take nests of thousands of newborn suns, deep-sky objects are very old and light pollution takes its toll on them. While many are visible in the city with smaller aperture telescopes, most are just round smudges with no individual visible stars.
