What to image in November with the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro
Andromeda and Triangulum transit in the evening, the Pleiades and the California Nebula follow, and Orion clears the horizon by midnight. The first of the winter nebulae are available to the patient after 23:00.
Moon in November 2026: new on 9 Nov, full on 24 Nov. Broadband targets (galaxies, clusters) want the week either side of new; emission nebulae behind a dual-band filter tolerate the rest.
39 targets transit near midnight in November. From a suburban sky the Seestar S30 Pro gets a solid image of 21 of them in under an hour each; 18 need longer, or a darker sky, or several nights. Times below use the recommended filter and 10 s subs.
