I recently made a list of 352 Messier like objects, 148 were in the north (including 92 galaxies) and 204 were in the south. The center of the Milky Way is overhead at latitude -29 degrees and we have some great DSO objects including omega Cen, 47 Tuc, eta Car, the LMC and the SMC. In NSW and Qld it is clear in winter when the MW is overhead.
