hi Timbo,
Venus at the moment is in a very rich field of DSOs inbetween Scorpio and Sagittarius. use a low power eye piece and just move the scope around Venus, or use your finderscope and you'll see quite a few objects.
best thing to do is to plan ahead and give it a go. the best part about it is the thrill of the chase and then the reward of finding what you're looking for. enjoy
matt
