I shot over an email and haven't heard yet if there is space for me to tag along.
FYI while working on your Cygnus targets I did get a great view of n. america nebula from H2O with my 80 mm finder plus narrowband filter & 21 mm ep (14x). I'm guessing that your targets are a little fainter and probably require a slightly darker site, or a day when San Jose is shrouded by fog.
