One of these is the giant galaxy M33. Twice the diameter of the full moon, it requires a rich field scope to make out the arm structure. I felt like a kid in a lolly shop when I saw its arms. Beautiful. Not sure if it is a good proposition for the lower latitudes of Oz.
Andrew has listed some real beauties.

Yep, Andrew, in fact I've chosen M33 as my northernmost declination for the list. Well +30deg is my chosen cut-off. Anything further north is in the "mush" for me. Eg. M31 never looks any good.
