Alasdair,

I managed to compile all 600 items into a document that will show you what the objects look like.

http://www.joelye95.com/BAM600.pdf (198MB)

The All-Sky chart is localised for SE QLD for the time I generated the document (sorry bud) and is sorted alphabetically (you'll see why), but the 60 degree chart is centred for the object and shows you what is nearby. Use the spreadsheet to find out what constellation it is in. The 5 degree chart is what you should see in your finder scope (it may be inverted, I did not check) and the 1 degree chart shows you what you would see through your scope with a 25mm eye piece (again, may be inverted). Finally, there is an infra-red image of the object so you know what to look for.

The size of the circles in the fields of view are the size of the object in the view. Use the 25mm to start with as some of these dimmer objects are easier to see.

Hope that helps you out and doesn't freak you out.

Joel
