Daniel,
I started with Arcturus or similar because of the deep lines. This helped me get used to the focus and exposure times.
I then went for some small planetary nebs to identify the Ha and OIII lines. Then the Eta carinae star for the Ha & Hb are strong. As suggested by others I used Beta Car for calibration.
Good luck. Keep us posted on your progress and questions.
