City Deepsky Project
Welcome to the City Deepsky Project. This project started when I discovered that there were few, if any, lists of deep sky objects visible from inside the light polluted confines of the average city. So in May of 2005 I started this list on my blog over at [1], however it became to cumbersome for the blog format so a switch to the wiki format was in order. The advantage of this format is now others may also add to the project as well as adding if objects are visible from their cities.
That all being said, this list This will allow people who are new to astronomy with a list of objects to hunt down and observe visually from their backyards. It will also be useful to more experienced observers who, like me, are sometimes just to lazy to drive out to a darker site.
