Slight Change of Plans

I have been doing some research recently and it seems as though there might not be 30 messier objects to observe. I knew that fall didn't contain the most objects but now I'm doubting that I could find thirty. I know of two possible changes in the original plan. I could reduce my original goal of thirty to twenty, I am confident that I could find twenty objects now. Or I could change my goal from thirty Messier objects to thirty deep-sky objects. This would include objects from other catalogs such as the new general catalog or the Herschel catalog. However the Messier objects are typically the brightest and objects from any other catalog would be dimmer and much more difficult to locate. Well, I'll will do some more research to find if I could find more non-messier objects. If I can't I'll be able to reduce my goal to thirty. I wish I had done this in the middle of Summer, then there would be easily thirty, but oh well. I'll figure it out.
