I never use online charts. I either use a good star atlas (my favourite is the Sky & Telescope Pocket Sky Atlas) or Starry Night software. Look for M35 and the Eskimo or Clown Nebula in Gemini.

If it has to be on line I suppose you could try Google Sky if that's what you want, but you are better off with a decent sky map you can have with you out side.
Nothing as large as the Sky Atlas, which is great for me at the telescope, but a pocket version as the learned gentleman said earlier, Sky & Telescope do a good one.
And take a red flashlight with you as well because it takes 20 mins for your eyes to become dark adapted, otherwise you won't see much deep sky stuff.

Hi. The best book I have found (and bought) is Uranometria. http://www.willbell.com/atlas/atlas4.htm For a useful chart try here. http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky/gem/index.html

Use this one. It can be customised for all sorts of magnitudes.
