DSO list based on aperture

hi everyone,

ive noticed alot of newbies (myself included) ask for lists of DSO based on telescope aperture. i just found a website with a few lists, each based on the aperture of the telescope being used. it goes from 50mm to 300mm and includes a recomended magnification for each object. you'll need a sky atlas of some sort because the list only names the constellation the object is in. it seems to include more northern constellations then southern, but that might just be my imagination...

go to: http://astro.geekjoy.com/calcs/DSO_List.html

take some time to explore the site, it has alot of other useful articles and features.
