I like looking at the "pencil" nebula - the straight line with some subtle trailing nebula to one side within the Vela SNR. I can't remember the NGC number, but it is in Hartung's book. Really stands out with an OIII filter. I have also scanned around this area and traced out some of the faint filaments of nebula - nice place to stop off when you are under dark skies
edit - a quick Google search revealed the Pencil nebula to be NGC 2736
