An old book "Astronomy With Binoculars" by James Muirden kept me quite happy for years chasing down all the relatively straightforward objects he had listed in the small maps at the back of the book.
Crossen's Binocular Astronomy book claims that with 10X50s at a dark site, one can spot around 50 galaxies (though I've never tried the exercise). It contains Bright Star Atlas in the back, many of the objects of which are visible in binoculars.
One easy object to spot at the moment is the Andromeda galaxy. Galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor I've often seen with 10X50s, but is a bit tricky to locate.
Regards,
Renato
