Huh, this really is a bad time of year for small smart telescopes.
It looks like being the first clear night for weeks tonight, but when I try to set up a plan I can't find anything useful for my telescope to do until about 2 am. It's a full Moon so the only good targets are big bright emission nebulae viewed through the light pollution filter, but there aren't any high enough to observe until the last few hours of the night. I could follow @cafuego's example and shoot a timelapse movie of an asteroid, but both Pallas and Vesta are uncomfortable close to the full Moon. Juno could work, but it'll get too low for me by around 10:30 pm so I'd only get a couple of hours on it at most. Filling the middle of the type with more time on the Helix Nebula is an option, but even that's a bit closer to the Moon on the sky than ideal. It'd be a tough test for my 3D printed lens hood/light baffle.

Well, turned out the weather wasn't quite a good as forecast last night so I didn't get much data, but I was able to add a few more hours to the Seagull Nebula here.
This is now a little of 5 hours of total exposure time, but this is a fairly faint nebula and I think it could do with several times more.
All data taken from my Sydney backyard (Bortle 7 + full Moon) with my Seestar S30 Pro, and processed in Siril with SyQon and VeraLux scripts.
