I'd just like to say to Steve that I'd happily swap my circumpolar objects for his! The grass is always greener and all that...
After playing 'Hide & Seek' for a few days, I have found my OIII filter, so clouds willing, I will try tonight. I brought the filter years ago and never liked it because it dims stars so badly, but will give it another go.

Does this filter also help with the North American Nebula?

Being only 17 degrees south of the equator, I have no circumpolar stars or objects of note, but do appreciate that the far-southern sky has more interesting objects than the far-northern sky.
