Family night on the Gold Coast

HI,

I am taking my scope down to my sisters place on the Gold Coast saturday night...she is in the hinterland so the viewing should be ok...

I need some help at what to look at.....remembering they know nothing of the sky either do I.........what I have planned is as follows.

1) Saturn
2) Moon
3) Jupiter
4) Tuc47 NGC 104
5) Omega Cent (NGC 5139 I think)
6) Orion M42

If you don't mind list some messier numbers or NGC would be much appreciated....a bit of information would also be appreciated.....maybe list your favourites......I want to look like a real pro infront of my family and can do this with your help.....lol
