Hi Josh, there's a nice big nebula coming into view over the next month or so ( if you stay up a bit late ). M42, The Great Nebula in Orion will quite easily show you dust clouds and structure in a 90mm. Look for Orions 'sword' above the 3 stars that form his 'belt'. Lot of stuff going on around there. I can even see dust in my 12 x 50 binocs froma suburbam location so you should see heaps, maybe even a little colour.
Orion is best seen jan-feb becaiuse it rises earlier but depending on your eastern horizon and how late you want to stay up it's in view now.
