More suggestions please.......

I left my scope up from last night's foray, I think the clouds are going to clear and it'll be a good night so I'd like to get some impressions about what to look at.

Last night I studied the Catseye, toured through Sagittarius some, hit the Saturn Nebula, the Little Gem, the Dumbell, M57 and the North American nebula. I also hit a few globs along the way. Tonight I'm kind of wondering what I should concentrate on, seeing as I rarely pull this scope out more than every 3 months or so. Anything beyond the normal stuff that's a "don't miss this" object??

I'm using a 25" f/4 with ArgoNavis and ServoCat, eps from all over from 5mm-32mm, at a decently dark sky spot where Milky Way looks like clouds, very little light pollution.

Thanks,
Steve
