Another good one that is very easy to see is Saturn Nebula, its a planetary, and though the scope looks like a large blurry star (im in the middle of perth and can pick it quite well. the colours that i get are kind of blue/aqua color. I have imaged it a few times now but with my imaging camera being really a Sbig guide camera it doesn't have lots of resolution but i can make out the rings and balls on the side plus the star in the middle. yay.
other things to go for that are bright
Triffid and Lagoon Neb as they are close together.
Swan/omega neb (lots of stars around that one)
Eagle nebula, you might be able to see the nebula might not. but the other name for it is the Pillars of creation. quite spectacular to view though the camera loads of detail.
Taranchula Neb. thats a big suckker, and you should be able to spot it with the naked eye.
Have you tried to see LMC and SMC? or even the coalsack in Crux?
these are just some that i have had a poke at and they look really cool. another thing if you don't know what your looking at or for look on google pictures, youll know what your looking for and it makes alot easier.!
