Hi,
From there at 8pm, Jupiter is well positioned due North, and you can issue a challenge by mentioning that Uranus is right next to it about 5 degrees East, but much harder to find.
The Pleiades are low in the NE near Taurus, about 10 degrees up, so you will need a clear horizon there.
Due South, NGC 104 or 47 Tuc, is a very bright globular cluster 45 degrees up. Another dense cluster M15 is about 40 degrees up directly NW.
The brightest spiral galaxy M31 is a handy 20 degrees up in the NNE (but I am not a photographer, so I can't say how useful it will be), and if you have a clear horizon, the lovely coloured double star Albireo, Beta Cyg, is about 10 degrees up, straight NW.
Cheers
