If you stay up late, or wait another couple of months then the galactic centre (Scorpius/Sagittarius region) is brimming with amazing sights to photograph. Pretty much just point the camera up and have at ye! The area around
Antares is crazily colourful and doesn't need a long focal length (max 200mm) but does need exposure time and dark skies to really look great.
The Lagoon Nebula (M8) is the standout nebula during winter. Doesn't take much to get a decent shot of it.
Best of luck!
