I've been using a cheap achro refractor for imaging for a while, which is why I chose those particular objects. They are "achro friendly".

Objects like the Southern Pleiades, the northern Pleiades and the Orion nebula are best left until you get a reflector or ED refractor. Unless you shoot narrowband, but I suspect that's a way into the future yet.

The Moon is also up now in the evening and as Brian mentioned is a great object for all telescopes.
