Back from holidays.....I made an amazing find at Icon Books in Byron Bay: vols 1-5 of the Webb Society Deep Sky Observers Handbooks (now out of print). Although some of the info is out of date (they were printed in the early 1980's), each volume contains a list of objects (total over 700), with detailed descriptions of what you see with different sized apertures, and in many cases EP drawings. This will make finding objects, and knowing what to expect at the EP a lot easier.
If you were wondering, there was only one set.
