At 5.75 R Lep has one of the highest B-V values going. It's incredibly red. ST4v says it's currently 8.6 magnitude, so it should be easy to detect. You can use the Database Power Search to look for stars with high B-V values that are bright enough for your scope. I just did a DBPS search for red stars with B-V>3, brighter than 15th magnitude. ST4v returned 1761 objects. That should keep you busy 
.
R Lep was at the top of the list. DY Cru was next at B-V=5.56. You can also limit the search by date or observing location. The DBPS is a very powerful observing tool.
