Galaxies from a balcony

Galaxies are the hardest class for a city balcony. They shine across the whole spectrum, so a filter does not help: light pollution and signal arrive together. Most have very low surface brightness, and what a dark sky shows in an hour takes five or eight here.

So this page has many honest "ahead" entries and a few frames where the galaxy is barely more than a hint. That is deliberate: to show what a small telescope and a city really give, not only the lucky exceptions.
