Cool Buying imaging time for the Heart Nebula

Hi all!

I have been toying with an idea for quite some time. I have an anniversary coming up in 4 months with my partner and want to do something different. She absolutely loves space and is genuinely interested in astro imaging, always accompanying me when I image and admiring all the images posted here.

So I thought it would be a really nifty idea to image the heart nebula through a remote obs for her I've played with stellarium and seems like anywhere North of ~35deg latitude is ideal for this Nebula. At the moment it is quite low on the horizon but after 4 months (when our anniversary is) it should be high enough to get some good imaging data

My question is that are there any reputable remote imaging stations anyone can recommend that could image this nebula? And what is the ideal imaging month for this? My concern is that in 4 months I run the risk of winter when the skies may possibly be more cloudy.

Thanks!
