The Draco Dwarf (UGC 10822, near the head of Draco, use *low* power and move the scope around a lot)
NGC 4236 (tilted low surface brightness spiral near Kappa Draconis)
NGC 6027 galaxy group (Hickson 79 in Serpens, four to six galaxies visible depending on the aperture).
Generally, I just pick a page off the atlas and go after about everything I can think of. It is fun to see just how faint I have gone. Clear skies to you.
