Nominations please for targets for the January- February period. (or should we have one each month?)
Please bear in mind that we have members with wide, medium and Long focus equipment, so perhaps we need a target in each category.
Orion will of course be around which offers a multiplicity of targets.   The Horsehead Nebula/ Alnitak/ Flame nebula region can be imaged at a variety of FOVs. For those who prefer smaller targets there is M1 and for the wide boys there is the Rosette Nebula.  Or maybe there is something more unusual?
Let me have your views please.

I think Orion Nebula,  Horsehead & Rosette are all good suggestions.  The idea of mixture of targets to meet mixture of equipment is a good one

My north eastern horizon is pretty cluttered (buildings and trees) so I struggle to capture Orión (sadly).
