I always find myself using a program called AstroPlanner. It shows you in real time in a list what objects are (or are not) visible for any time. For example where I live, the program shows you that I will never see M81 and M82 out of the whole Messier Catalogue. It has something like 120+ different catalogues and allows you to create your own lists. It also can download images of the region of an object and show you what to look out for. Furthermore, it can be set up for your particular telescope and eyepieces to show you your field of view and what you should see, as well as in your finderscope.
It is free for a trial, but I have attached the Messier and NGC Catalogue for AstroPlanner for you to try out.
