The Leo Triplet of M65, M66 and NGC 3628 that Alex has mentioned, is very easy to find and a big thrill when you find it. NGC 3628 is much fainter than the others so you need to do it before the moon affects your sky.
I you need some star hopping notes for it I will dig them out for you.

Another cluster worth considering before the moon comes up is the Hydra 1 cluster. NGC 3311 and 3312 should be easy and there are several others which may be getable with your 10" if the conditions are good.
