Star Atlas or maps to use whilst observing

Hello All,

Long time lurker first time poster, I started observing about a year ago, started with a 90mm refractor, saw saturn, got hooked, got frustrated with the mount, acquired an 8in dob and now spend my nights outside when it's clear, or if it is a no moon weekend, sneaking out to a darkish sky site. I'm at the stage where I can find all the bright things, planets, M42/M4/M6/TUC47, but I'm having trouble finding less obvious objects. So can anyone recommend a star atlas or set of maps that I can use whilst observing?

Thanks,
Craig
