I went after some DSOs after tonight's Jupiter event. Found a bright planetary that was very easy to see in the 12" as a bluish ellipse even from my light polluted back yard. Turned out to be the Saturn nebula. Well worth a look (and one that goes on my list of things to revisit when under dark skies). Should be fairly easy target for smaller scopes too. Bit of a challenge to find in light pollution because there aren't any bright stars nearby.
