Thanks for the encouragement all.
@Jeanette - I'll pencil it in. I'm sure it'll be awesome, but I'll have to deduct some awesomeness points because this weekend will trump it with a few firsts for me.
@Frank - I hope so. Sadly Eta Carinae isn't on my current plan this time around. Not sure if I should share my awesome plan with you at this stage. Bit worried about introducing too much awesomeness to one thread, the forum servers might not be able to take it and crash.
Ok, I'll only tap the keyboard gently so as to not stress the server...
I've always liked Pleiades, I know it's pretty low at the moment, but I want to have a crack at it.
I have a project/task to get some good shots of M42 before the end of the month. I'll be spending couple of hours there I think.
I like the name "Jellyfish" IC443. Have a go at that one. Not as common as M42 etc.
Then I want some galaxies - M83 Southern Pinwheel or M66 Leo trio.
Any suggestions? Additions/deletions/substitutions? My SLR is unmodified, so bit worried about which ones will work better than others.
