One of the most famous galaxies is M51, or the Whirlpool Galaxy, in the constellation Canes Venatici.
This object is practically inaccessible from my balcony. So, the sessions were only half an hour each, over six nights in July and August 2020.
The balcony is in Kharkiv, in a red zone of light pollution.
