ah, that's good!
Sky Safari gives you the "best observing objects" for tonight (or any date/time you set the app to.)
the details of the objects list the magnitude of the object, too.

with this list here http://www.icq.eps.harvard.edu/MagScale.html you could find an object for tonight that might well be visible with the naked eye from your dark skies, there.
or later on, visible with the binos you might buy.

although, I would also wait for a good scope/mount recommendation instead of the binos / or on top of the binos.
the computerized GoTo mounts are so great in really kindling your fascination with the night sky.
and still you can do all the learning, too, that comes with manually navigating the skies.
