Below are a couple of popular non planetary targets which should look good in your scope:
NGC 4755 (Jewel Box) size=10 min, mag=4 beautiful open cluster near Southern Cross
NGC 5139 (Omega Centauri) 36 min, mag3, best Globolar cluster
NGC 104 (47 Tucane) 30 min, mag=4, another great Globolar cluster
NGC 3372 (Eta Carina Nebula) 2deg, mag=3, best Nebula in rich star field
Messier 42 (Orion Nebula) 1.1deg, mag=4, another bright nebula

Cheers.
