With a beast like yours, point it at the Virgo-Coma cluster (to the lower right
of where Saturn is at present). Whack in a low powered EP and go for it.
There is a heap there you'll see for sure.

Here's a chart of galaxies mag 12.5 and brighter in the Virgo-Coma cluster, as
well as a couple in Leo along with the Leo triplet noted in the chart NGC 3627,
3628 with NGC 3623 to the west not labelled.

These should give you something to feast on, the Chart is for around 8pm
and should appear just to the east of due north above your northern horizon.
