The first nebula I'd suggest is M42 in Orion. An hour after sunset Orion should be pretty much straight up and slightly north. Most people know it as "The Saucepan" or "The Shopping Trolley". If you can find the handle of the saucepan and look at the middle star through your scope you will notice a lot of glowing gas and dust. This is M42 or the Great Orion Nebula.
The best galaxy for you to see atm (if the lights will let you) is NGC253 in the constellation of Cetus. It will be in the western sky after sunset.
What books and maps do you have at the moment?
