Being a city-bound astronomer plagued with light pollution, I deeply appreciate the fact that there are some objects, even some deep-sky objects, that can still be observed, effectively under
urban skies. It's really a numbers game with light pollution. I can still see galaxies, open clusters, globular clusters and nebulae with my
astronomy binocular; I just can't see anywhere near as many of them as I could when I lived in rural areas. To further adapt to city life, I have also spent more time on objects that are less affected by light pollution. Binocular doubles are a good example and they make for a fun evening with the
binocular. I have also added the moon to my
binocular list. With a binocular, it is easy to see all the major maria and many, many craters and mountain ranges. In other words, I am out observing with my binocular and that is really the important thing.
