Big northern targets

[Ags]

I am looking for targets for my camera lenses. They need to be north of Orion. I know about North America Nebula, California Nebula, the Veil, the Pleiades, Heart and Soul, M31... But what else covers a few degrees of sky? 

[DaveS]

It's not a specific nebula, but the region around Sadre is a very rich NB target, especially if you can give it plenty of exposure. Somewhat smaller and still (Just) north of Orion, the Rosette is a good few degrees across.

I'd forgotten about the region around Sadr! 

Is there anything in Spring to early Summer?

Yes, a very rich region.

IC1396 with Sh2-129 maybe?

Spring to early summer is really galaxy season.  Very little in the sky except the circumpolar stuff which is a bit low then anyway.

Can I suggest you get the atlas C-du-C and download the the SH 2 catalogue, I did this and was shocked how much there is that I never knew of, some of these targets are very large but need a lot of time to bring them out.

Good find Roger, if nothing else it is valuable for the co-ordinates for targets as I often have a big search on to find to find them.

The PDF looks brilliant.

I've imaged one or two objects from the Sharpless Catalogue over the years.
