For up North, how about M12? Smaller and less dense but more colourful than it's famous big brother M13.

A suggestion for the Southern Hemisphere would be M17, the Omega (Swan) Nebula.

Two star clusters with names, one open, the other a glob.
For the North M29 (the Cooling Tower asterism)a Mag 6.6, open cluster in Cygnus. It's pretty easy to tell why it is named this.
For the South - C78, the Cacciatore cluster - Mag 7.3 globular cluster (so named for the discoverer, not the Italian dish) in Corona Australis.
Cheers and have fun,
JT
