If your pulling all nighters then, the Witches Head, and Orions targets after 2am. They don't give you a lot of time, with astro dawn from about 4:30am now. Have fun.

I have been meaning to redo the Skull Nebula, did a brief one last year. I still haven't imaged most of the regions so they're still new to me
Having only started astrophotography about 12 months ago, I still have a lifetime worth of targets to track down at least once

I really couldn't find many images of this region, not outside of old plates and sky surveys anyway. Looks like a nice patch that I have no plans at all of ever imaging EVER, especially not in two weeks. Nope. Nope

We'll have LOTS of time to discuss stuff, COZ ITS GONNA BE CLOUDY!
Never insult the weather gods by making detailed imaging plans |
Looking forward to a whole weekend of cloud and rain where we won't be capturing a single photo that isn't emitted by the Earth itself
