It's a bit quiet up there at present planetarily speaking other than Venus in the early evening. See if you can make out the crescent shape. Then of course there is the moon at about 95% but that is rising quite late.
But looking back towards the Southern Cross which has quite few asterisms and small clusters within it plus the wee Kru Cluster near Mimosa. Then try for 47 Tucanae, the big cluster. That is a view in any scope.
Have you got a PC running Stellarium. Free and big help if locating, naming and knowing what to look for. A very good way to start.
