Just to add a little bit, 8x40 also means 8x42, in my view (no pun intended). An 8x45 was also mentioned above, a Garrett model I believe.
How dark is your usual observing site?
Not sure what charts you already have, but I really really like the Bright Star Atlas 2000 by Tirion and Skiff to go along with small handheld binoculars. It's handy, convenient, easy to use, inexpensive, reasonly durable in the field (except for the two-staple binding - my only complaint about it), a good match with 8x binoculars, and definitely will help you learn a lot more about the constellations.
