Here's one I viewed the other night. NGC 6822 Better known as Barnards Galaxy in sagittarius. It is a member of the local group of galaxies and is a dwarf-irregular. It is quite large 8'x3' so it benifits from a wide angle e/p. The brightest stars are mv=15 and I just managed to resolve some of them with my Dob (I think).
