What Can I Photograph in July?

Hi everyone

I have a chance to finally use my AstroTrac over the next few nights.
I'm going to use a Canon 1D IV with a 100mm 2.8 Macro lens. I can switch to a 70-200 2.8 if needed but I'm not confident about polar aligning correctly at 200mm for now.

But I need some ideas of what to shoot
I tested the unit last night and was able to successfully track 30 second exposures across the sky. I know that's nothing for you pros but I was stoked

So for the next few nights, can someone please recommend something for me to point my camera at?
All of the beginner nebulas and galaxies seem to be below the horizon at the best times. I'd like to try and shoot before the moon comes out but can stay out a bit after that.

Thanks!
