Hi
I'm hoping the weekend might allow some imaging...I've forgotten how to do it its been so long but if anyone has suggestions for some nice planetaries i could try please let me know.
I'd be imaging with the C14 at F11 and Canon 20Da (preferably imaging on Eastern side).
cheers
PS i can only access the net tonight and then I'm off for few days.
thanks in advance
frank

A great list in excel format, arranged by type.

NGC 3242 (Ghost of Jupiter) in Hydra, 6-10pm, after which sets west.
Then rising east, M57 (Ring Nebula) in Lyra and M27 (Dumbbell Nebula) in Vulpecula after 10pm.

Regards, Rob.

Definitely the Bug Neb NGC6302, should be a cracker with the C14, and its on the eastern side.
