First Dark Sky trip - Suggestions?

[Crackabarrel]

I will be taking a trip to Bortle 2-3 skies this weekend with my new setup which is as follows:

William Optics ZS73 w/ Flattener

Nikon D5300

HEQ5 Pro

No guiding just yet and using APT for capture.

Would anyone have any suggestions as to a good beginner target for this setup, bearing in mind it will be my first time getting anything more than 15 minutes of exposures from the above? I was considering the Eastern Veil in Cygnus but if anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate them.

Thank you.

Double cluster in cassiapeia?

Hi

Unfortunately the moon is going to interfere for faint stuff like the veil. @bruno's suggestion of a cluster instead looks a better bet.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions however clouds interfered and I really didn't get much if any data to play with, maybe next time.
