Hi All,

I'm relatively new to this - but have been having a lot of fun over the past 6 months with a Samyang 135 mm/Fuji DSLR on a SA 2i. I've had a go at imaging Orion, Carina, Rho Ophiuchi (still trying to work out a walking noise issue on this one) and a few other things.

Obviously imaging targets depend a little on your gear and optics and I realise I'm widefield at the moment (I am considering a first telescope in the 400 mm range). But where do you find inspiration for what to shoot? I've been looking a lot on Astrobin but I get the sense that it's northern hemisphere heavy (more users no doubt). I'm not suggesting we in the southern hemisphere have fewer AP targets, but I'm just not sure where to find a good source of information about what's out there . I've looked at Telescopius and its framing tool is helpful (the thing I like about Astrobin is that it gives you an idea of what a specific bit of gear can actually produce...)

Where do you guys go to find your next target?

Thanks,

Paul
