Urgent for tonight! - Need a target suggestion please.....

First day back at work....brain fried, and will be even more so by the time it clears again tonight, by around 2am-ish I think.

I have a HA filter mounted and its too much trouble to remove it, so I am looking for a reasonable size Ha imaging target rising in the NE to SE sky.

Any suggestions? The fov with the camera nicely covers the area from the bottom of the Orion nebula up to the running man.

Thanks very much :)

IC 1396 Elephants, but more NW - NE on a low orbit. Not much else up that area other than M81/82 and 51. Considering braving the wind and trying to get some 10 min subs of Bodes and coax the flux out of them tonight if it clears.

What did you settle on, Tim?

I'm struggling for Ha targets in the wee hours. It's looking a bit like galaxy land then? Which is fine by me when it's not windy as our light pollution is not insane yet (though getting bad enough that Ha gives comfort for the future...) and I can get a bit more focal length.

The 66mm has fought the wind admirably tonight!!
