Narrowband targets?

Hello guys,

I'd like to ask you if anyone can provide a short list of possible targets for narrowband imaging. Alas, my project for the Rosette nebula will have to wait next season, since now it sinks into the murky horizon too soon to collect enough data.

Thanks for any info you can provide guys grin

Luca,

Unfortunately this time of year is galaxy season, so there are few narrowband targets that I can think of, other than galaxies with rich HII regions (M81, M82, M51, M106), and those will almost definitely need LRGB on top of the H-alpha data.

Once late spring or summer comes along, the grand nebulae of Cygus, Sagittarius and Scorpio (maybe?) should keep us all busy.

HTH,
Eric
