easy to find DSOs for Skywatch Heritage 130p

Hi guys,

I just got a skywatch heritage 130p and I've seen the moon and jupiter and was blown away at the detail given how much I paid for this scope. I'm going to try my luck at some DSOS and was wondering what are some large and easy ones to find in Melbourne skies. I live in the outer west of melbourne - about 30 kms out.

I thought Orion Nebula would be a good one. Just wondering what I'd expect to see through the eye piece for the brighterr galaxies and nebula etc? Would they just be faint smudge with no color? Should I use the 10mm or 25 mm when looking?

thanks in advance!
