What Could I Look At Tonight?

I have my tripod set ready for the southern sky tonight. (24/11).
Have never planned an object and gone and found it, apart from the planet's and moon.
I see the large and small Magellanic clouds are up there, so l Googled them to see what they are. Ok.
Using Stellarium l see there are various star clusters, interstellar matter and even the Tarantula nebula.
I'm looking for something fairly obvious so l can say"there it is!". Not sure how I'll go with DSO's being in suburbia but l can only try

Using the Bresser 127L achro.
I have four lenses :- Bresser Super Plossal 26mm, GSO superview 20mm and 15mm and, Orion Edge On Planetary 5mm.
I do not have a go-to fancy finder, just a good old hand cranked EQ mount.

Any targets you would like to suggest l will give it a shot and report back.
I won't be home until 9:30 so Jupiter will be below my tree line by then.
I'll have to concentrate to the south.
Cheers.
