Here's a short list I just got from Sky Tools 3, all visible tonight:

NGC 6744
NGC 7793
NGC 55
M110
M32
M31 (Andromeda) - Try Bino's
NGC 253 (Sculptor)
NGC 247
SMC - Bino's or unaided eye
NGC 300
M33 (Pinwheel) - Try Bino's
M74
NGC 1291
Fornax A Radio Source (Also Fornax Galaxy cluster - best with low power wide field eyepiece, numerous galaxies).
M77
LMC - Bino's or unaided eye
NGC 1313

These are all best between 21:00 (after twilight) and before 00:30 (before moonrise).

Enjoy!

P.S. Forgot to mention they are all galaxies. Note too M42, Great Orion Nebula will rise before midnight.
