Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (Tarantula neb is in the LMC)
NGC 253 is straight forward but too close to the Sun at the moment as is M77
NGC5128 near the globular Omega Cent is good now and rewarding being able to see the dust lane. M83 is nice too.
The M65, 66 (Leo) plus a host in Virgo including M104 & Coma B
Look up the Messier catalog and keep to declinations less than +50deg
M65 & 66 are usually in the same eyepiece FOV (there is a third nearby but harder)
