The Ring Nebula M57 in the constellation of Lyra is an easy one to find.
A bright little smoke ring sitting 1/3rd of the way between two bright stars. Though at the moment it's a morning object, best seen after 1am.
Once you've found The Ring Nebula, it's only a short star hop to The Dumbell Nebula M27.
