Stock dslr targets?

[Joeistotalycool]

Hi, recently i bought an astronomik cls filter to go with my stock dslr and was wondering what are some good starter objects to image. I have a skywatcher ed80 on a goto equatorial mount with no autoguiding and my southern sky for the most part blocked by houses, and my eastern sky has some houses in the way too. Any ideas?

Galaxies are good targets for a stock dslr, clusters too. Maybe give the guided tour function on your handset a go to see what takes your fancy.

If you don't have it then for me Stellarium is a must I too have blocked south views and houses east.  M31 (andromeda) M45 Pleiades and Ngc889 (perseus double cluster) are high enough to avoid the obstructions to your views.

Dave...

just seen you've done M31

Yes I downloaded that quite some time ago, and set my telescope specifacations (80mm apature, 650mm focal length)

Tonight? Full moon. How about one of the M clusters in Cygnus? M29 and M39 I think they are. There's also another nice one which goes well on a big sensor: ngc6819. HTH.
