Thanks Russell. This next week is ideal moonwise for imaging so I plan on an LRGB image or perhaps an LRGB with some Ha.

Probably a galaxy as well to see how it goes on that. It all depends on how many nights. Usually my dark site can be clear when Sydney is cloudy and rainy but not necessarily at the moment.

Any suggestions for targets? Proline 16803 and RHA is about 1.7 arc minutes x 1.7. So Rho Ophiuchi as a mosaic may work.
M17, Omega Centauri (quick image of a few hours) maybe another Eta C (I'm a bit Eta C'ed out though). Last ditch Orion before it sets.
Vela SNR is still up. Herschels Ray could be nice NGC 2736 especially with the Trius with its high QE in Ha and O111. CG4 could be interesting although perhaps a bit of a vague target for first light.

Galaxies NGC3521, 3621, 2997 are in good positions. Leo triplet of galaxies, Sombrero Galaxy, Antenna Galaxies, Centaurus A (then I'd never hear the end of it from Mike if it didn't show the extended halo - so that's a risky one to do!).. The Queen of Galaxies NGC6744 is rising now and is a viable target although quite dim and really needs massive exposure so risky with dodgy weather forecast.

The Running Chicken Nebula is well positioned. The Blue Horsehead IC 4592 is a possible. Its near Rho Ophiuchi. NGC3576 is in a good position.

NGC6188 is rising and could be a target for the 2nd half of the night.

Any suggestions?

Greg.
