After being able to track down the few objects I was desperate to see (M8 and all the nebulae around it) I started on the Messier list (found that across the year I could see about 96 of the 110), and then added a Dunlop and Bennett list of various Southern objects (John's list is probably more comprehensive), and then a few more... (Herschel etc.). I used to store the lists in astoplanner but now store them all in Sky Safari Pro (on my iPhone) where you can both tick off the objects you've seen and add observations. Under dark skies I add a red screen over the iPhone that still allows me to type etc.
