Here are a few...

www.deepsky-archive.com It is a Finnish run site, but has many DS drawings from (mostly) European observers.
Adventures in Deep Space is great as well, for much more under-observed and difficult objects, such as some of the galaxy clusters: www.angelfire.com/id/jsredshift

This has some pretty good targets and what to expect:
http://www.skyhound.com/sh/skyhound.html
and this site has all kinds of observing reports for all kinds of DSO's with all kinds of telescopes, so you can kind of know what to expect:

Here's a great program-- an NGC/IC observing list generator enables you to create a list according to constellation, object type and magnitude.

I agree, I think the Halian site is great, but what I would like to see is a bigger portion of the sky, perhaps one that you can scroll around.
