M42 should be OK until around 22:00

Saturn rises around 19:05 and by 21:00 should be high enough to be fairly stable.

47 Tuc, Jewel Box, Omega Cen.

There are a couple of Iridium flares to watch out for but they aren't particularly bright (compared to #13 which should be around mag -8 over my place on the 11th):
#77 @19:11 not too far from Miaplacidus (mag -4)
#98 @19:15 in almost the same location (mag -2)

Clear skies.
Thanks your plan is looking good so far
