A brief clear hiatus for me as well.
Did the Machholz comet, but didn't image it (did this a few nights back, and posted the pic).
Imaged the Tarantula, and this will be in the deepsky section. I also imaged M42, first time ever, can you believe that, but wasn't happy with it, so will revisit it before going too far.
The Helix is very difficult. From home, (not Sydney suburbs) I can see it in the 8x50 finder, and it is nice in the 10" f5, especially with the OIII.
Try the finder with the OIII in front.
