Has anybody visually observed the faint galaxy on the edge of the Helix. It 
shows up nicely in photos, but I don't know of any visual sightings.
You might also want to try for some of the fainter globulars in M31. We tried 
for a few in Dave Healy's 32-inch in Hereford, AZ and had some luck. 
Try for some TNOs, maybe see if you can spot Pluto's moon Charon.

I wish you could nail down Minkowski's Object, outburst galaxy in Cetus 
that hangs around NGC541. It can be just seen in a 25", I think. Not to 
be confused with Minkowski's footprint. Here's a fun read on some 
objects from Rich Jakiel, don't know if you've seen it, incl some "nasty 
dwarf galaxies" from Tom P.:
