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:

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.

It’s not finishing something when your tank is empty that makes you a stronger person. It’s brushing yourself off and refacing the foe that defeated you with the same determination and willingness to fight that you had when you began your journey.
