Observing suggestions

[barx1963 (Malcolm)]

I have been allocated a 2 hour observing block on the Faulkes Telescope. I am using along with a few other members of our local group here in SW Vic.

Obviously want to make time valuable, any suggestions for interesting targets?

I can book any free time available on either telescope (Hawaii or Siding Springs), so I have plenty of flexibility as to abjects!
