2 of my favourite websites (both free) for searching for objects are:

1. messier45.com

you can use this to search by constellation, magnitude, size, object type etc. It then shows an image of the object and location maps. It has objects from most of the deep sky catalogues and links to other websites. It is one of the most extensive and easy to use search sites that I have found so far.

2. Worldwide telescope

This is a photographic survey of the whole sky - you can search for objects that look interesting, it also gives information about its magnitude etc.

Regrads,
Tony.
