Aries is pretty well devoid of nebulae. Night Sky Observer's Guide lists a number of galaxies, none of them particularly noteworthy, and one open cluster, but no nebulae. Uranometria 2000.0 Deep Sky Atlas shows one tiny bright nebula, vdb 16, and a few dark spots, in the NE corner of Aries.

Yep, when you're looking at Aries you're looking in a direction away from the thickest parts of the Milky Way galaxy. Not much there right now. Check back in a few billion.
