Re: Nice galaxies for late summer viewing?

Most of the galaxies of late summer/early fall are pretty faint. You've noted the one exception: NGC 7331 in Pegasus.
If you've got access to reasonably dark skies and you're willing to try for some fainter targets, I would recommend:
1. NGC 6503 (Draco) 2. NGC 6643 (Draco) 3. NGC 6814 (Aquila) 4. NGC 6822 (Sagittarius) 5. NGC 6907 (Capricornus) 6. NGC 6946 (Cepheus) 7. NGC 6951 (Cepheus) 8. NGC 7013 (Cygnus) 9. NGC 7177 (Pegasus) 10. NGC 7184 (Aquarius) 11. NGC 7217 (Pegasus) 12. NGC 7314 (Piscis Austrinus) 13. NGC 7332 (Pegasus) 14. NGC 7377 (Aquarius) 15. NGC 7479 (Pegasus) 16. NGC 7507 (Sculptor) 17. NGC 7606 (Aquarius) 18. NGC 7640 (Andromeda) 19. NGC 7727 (Aquarius) 20. NGC 7741 (Pegasus)
For additional objects (and more detail on the above), I'll submit this list generated from NED.
Happy hunting!
