Any ideas for DSLR targets for tonight please?

[Steve 1962]

Hi all

I've not managed to get out since March, and finally both the weather and I are both set clear for tonight...and I've not got to get up for work tomorrow.

Has anyone got any suggestions for good / interesting / different targets for my modded 1000d DSLR / Skywatcher 200p set-up apart from the NA Nebula and the Veil please?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Steve

M13 or M92 in Hercules - both fine globular clusters. M57 - the ring - in Lyra. To name a few. (Lots of other globulars in the southern aspect after dark this time of year - M10, 12 & 5 for example.

The DSLR/200P setup is exellent for these objects. Hope this helps.

Possibly M44 Beehive cluster tho its fov might be too wide.

M51 is another, bright galaxy.

M97, Owl neb in U. Major

You also have the leo/virgo galaxies tho it might be too bright for them

Good luck with that Steve, by the time it gets dark I reckon it'll be clouded out

Thanks TJ - we had a band of high cloud go through, now it's clear but more cloud on the horizon and on Sat24, so off to bed we go!
