A Site for Deep Sky Object Descriptions?

Over the last several years I have captured a number of images of deep sky objects, particularly nebula. In the next few months I plan to organize these into an album for my family and friends to view. I notice that many post a nice one or two paragraph description of the object with their images.

Is there a good internet location to get a nice, brief description of these objects that would be appropriate to copy and to place with my images? Or perhaps a good book?
Thanks
