I now have the following pages for binocular observers on my web site:

Object Search based on your location, binocular size, class of object, constellation, etc

Specifically for UK-latitude observers:

Object of the Month A new object every month

Whole Sky Maps Interactive maps of the whole sky, clickable for various objects, taking you to finder charts and more information for each.

Transient Objects and Events Regularly updated for things like supernovas, comets, occultations and close conjunctions visible in binoculars
