And NGC 1097 MAG 9.4 Very bright...in Fornax.
Also the easiest and brightest Mag 9......NGC 3115 , the Spindle Galaxy later in the month, in Sextans near Leo... very bright and intense cores, easy enough even in a 90mm refractor from the City...Enjoy.

Cool, thanks Joe. I'll give those a shot. I vaguely remember catching the Spindle in the 10" ages ago. Will have to give it a go. NGC 1097 looks very intersting
I'm keen to check out the Leo Triplet again when it rises later this year.

This is true. It is much lighter to setup than the 10". And quicker scouting the sky.
