Indeed Bob, Eurvin is right... you have a Light Pollution problem... (as most of us do)

Galaxies are VERY faint, and even though a Galaxy could be of Magnitude 11, remember that its light is spread out across a much wider field, not concentrated on a spot like with a star. You'll need darker skies to locate most of the galaxies, if not all of them.

From your location, I would probably see Star Clusters, Doubles, Moon & Planets, and maybe some planetary nebulas which are normally small & bright...

You might be able to see certain brighter galaxies, but you'll need really clear skies (no haze) to see them.

Clear skies!

Hello Darren...
It is called NOT SO GOOD WEATHER...

Still waiting for a good clear night, even though Winter in South Florida is gone, and Clear Nights will be rare...

Clear skies!
