Omega Centauri and Tuc47 look great, but you'd expect that given they're among the easiest targets among the fainter objects.
Single point stars are probably the best target to test with.

If it is mirror errors you probably wont notice the defects until you do a
side by side with a similar scope. Or you are experienced enough to detect
the errors when using it visually.

Sorry I cant be of more help, I'm sure someone else will pipe in.
