Suggest a Target

[Digz]

Can anyone suggest a target for me to shoot tonight anywhere from 70 - 200/300mm focal length.

Im trying my widefield rig and last night was spent on M31 but I don't know whether to add to the data tonight (I might end up wasting too much time reframing to match last nights data) or try a different target as who knows when we will next get a clear night?

TIA

m57 is really high at the moment (ring, in lyra near vega)

usually i spend about half an hr of photos per target (last night did m92 and m31, and night before tried m33)

edit : ARGH what is my fasination of m37!! to m57:S:S

Go for a sweet open cluster - something like the Owl Cluster in Cassiopeia (NGC457).

Thanks guys, but are these suitable at a focal length of 200/300mm had a look on stellarium and they look pretty small? Or am I being dense? (often I am, lol.)

Might be a bit 'basic', but Pleiades?

The Moon?

Thanks guys. Been having a bit of a mare with bits and pieces. Decided to plump for the area around Deneb lets see if I manage to capture the NAN.
