August good targets rising?

About to try my luck with a clear sky tonight. Any good nebulae or bigger galaxies rising in the east after dark?

Thanks mate. It's a little too far around to the north and over Canberra's sky-glow for me.

I'm now shooting NGC300 which is nearly South East and in a far darker direction for me. Going for 10 minute exposures.

First time in a while....

ah, Canberra, my bad!

nice galaxy! if I get bored finding Neptune, I might have a loooksee at that if I can find it when its gets a bit higher for me

good luck with the imaging Baz!
