Hi Glen

Why not check out the freeware version of Astroplanner? You can set it up with the horizons for your local viewing spot (or any spot you regularly use) and it will show when an object rises at your location, sets, transits, etc.

Any binocs are a valuable addition to your arsenal though. Its surprising what you can see with them when you try. Some form of stabilisation works wonders too.
