Thank you once again for all the great suggestions that were put forward!
The overwhelming consensus was for M1 the Crab Nebula.
Some info from Wikipedia.
The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1,
At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 2.0 kiloparsecs (6,500 ly) from Earth. It has a diameter of 3.4 parsecs (11 ly), corresponding to an apparent diameter of some 7 arcminutes, and is expanding at a rate of about 1,500 kilometres per second (930 mi/s), or 0.5% of the speed of light.

So get out there and have some fun with this target, we look forward to seeing what you have to report back or show and tell!
Also be sure to check out the new and revised Monthly challenge format, these will take effect from March 2020. We have made some changes that should give it a broader appeal : viewtopic.php?f=82&t=783
