Anything really Gerry, it would be good to learn a little more in terms of observation attempts concerning the faint super nova remnant nebulae filament region in Cygnus, consisting of SH2-91 and just perhaps SH2-94 and SH2-96. Over the past couple of seasons, The Little Veil has become a recurring favourite threshold challenge, spurred on not least by your former accounts. This season I expect when you get the larger dob in operation, more of this challenging region may be determined. Another aspect that I had been looking forward to are the dark nebulae regions in the Milky Way, consisting of Barnard's E and any further, as you consider, attainable features, perhaps to explore with your TSA120, within the Milky Way cloud. I am slow to get going this season, lots of agendas currently, cannot blame the weather for a change, cant wait to get out there though, eventually.

Funny you mention dark nebula Iain the other night the TSA120 did a fine job up near Tarazed in Aquila on those great dark ones there. This scope is excellent on them, right there with my best dark neb grabber. I need to fine tune the eyepiece selection for them with this scope as these things are fussy.
Dark nebs it is!
The Little Veil... what a good challenge and when the 24" is here I'm sure I'll map some more. Great job for seeing this one recurrently Iain.
Have you spent much time on M24? What a beautiful sight and with some dark surprises about. This is one of my favorite objects.
