When people ask about southern targets, I suggest looking at the Beginner Astrophotography forum on IceInSpace.
They tend to be targets that are up at the moment, generally one night's worth of data and probably with similar gear to what you are using.
I use AstroPlanner and Telescopius. If I see a target on a forum or something, I'll put it my AstroPlanner observing list. Then if I know a clear night is coming up, I'll sort the list for things that are visible, choose the sort of object I'm interested in and whether or not I need to be concerned about the moon, what telescope/camera combo I plan to use, etc.
Astroplanner has a field of view tool too but Telescopius has more images to use it with.
Steve.
