targets for my new Skywatcher 200mm dob tonight?

Hi all!

after reading and posting I landed on a simple 8" dob for my first scope and it was delivered monday. Now without jinxing myself it looks pretty clear at my place (central coast NSW) so i may just get to pull this thing out tonight (TWSS) What should i hone in on if i get an hour or two roaming? im thinking the orion nebula as thats pretty visible with small scopes right? I found a program link on here a month or two ago and that had a guide that toured you through our constellations. does anyone have that link or something similar that would help me find some targets to maximize the clear sky time I may have tonight?

Any help you lovely people can give would be appreciated, failing quick responses i think its just past a full moon tonight so with a bit of luck i might be able to locate that.

regards
Boff
