Looking for good targets

Hello all!

I'd consider myself very new to astronomy in general, even newer to astrophotography. I'm looking for new targets to catch, I'm particularly interested in good NGC objects. So far I have imaged M5, M13, M8, M20, M22, M27, M57, M6, and M51. I really like the nebula shots, and plan to take pictures of M16 and M17 in the coming weeks, but would like to start taking pictures of galaxies as well. The only limit, as far as I'm concerned, is it has to be relatively easy to find with the aid of a star chart or stellarium (no GOTO mount, the hunt is most of the excitement!)

That being said, anyone have any suggestions? I attached M57 and M22 to show what kind of results I've been getting so far.

Thanks!
