Targets in Sagittarius - when's best?

[rocketandroll]

I think I've found a coastal site near me with reasonable views to.the south... I was hoping to have a stab at imaging some if the nebulae and clusters in Sagittarius.

When is best to try and grab stuff that low? Does its elevation change much through the night at the moment?

Thanks!

Bit late now really, june and july are best I think. Now its already starting to set by the time you start imaging.

The teapot asterism was still well above the horizon the last few nights - get what you can while it lasts - won't be around much longer

Was going to point the 200mm lens in that direction Saturday or Sunday night... at least at f2.8 I can get a lot of data in an hour or so!

Will have to try and do it properly next year.

Well....

I bagged an astounding 15 mins of data on the lagoon and Triffid tonight between the clouds.. At least at f2.8 it'll show something. The individual subs look quite sexy... And if nothing else I found a great imaging spot on the coast with great views South and West!

Will process it tomorrow if i can.
