There's a guide (in development) at eyesonthesky.com[1] aimed at newcomers, who may be using poor telescopes in poor atmospheric and lighting conditions. I've been following it quite successfully from my back yard in Seattle. It focuses on the brightest galaxies and nebulae, interesting clusters, and binary stars.
