Most of my astroimaging I do from my small city rooftop terrace. This is an iphone shot of one of Viennas oldest observatories.

Urania Observatory was built in 1909 at Viennas famous Ringstrasse to the plans of Art Nouveau style architect Max Fabiani (a student of Otto Wagner) at the outlet of the Wien River and was opened in 1910 by emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria as an educational facility with a public observatory. It was named after the Muse Urania who represents Astronomy.
