Hi ManOnTheMoon,
Here is a good star chart that I found in IIS. If you have access to an A3 printer it is best:

A planisphere is also an invaluble item to help learn your way about and plan sessions in advance. I've had mine for more than 20 years and I still use it. This one is also from an IIS link to a good DIY planisphere:

I agree with dannat. If you can get yourself a sturdy, taller tripod, your use of the binos will be more efficient. Try local second hand markets. They don't need to be new, just robust. Take your binos along to check that what you find can deal with the binos mounted onto them.
Binoculars are a great tool. I always have them handy. At home in Sydney I need them to overcome the light pollution to find stuff. At a dark site, they too help locate items in a complex star field.
Mental.
