Hi Rod,
My 600 target Southern Skies Observing list (BAM 600) is already loaded on the Ice in Space website under
"Projects and Articles-Astronomy and Observing". It can be downloaded from there in Excel format and sorted in whatever order you like. Most people sort it by "Best Month to Observe", which basically sorts the targets by RA. Well over 1/2 the list can be achieved with a small aperture telescope <6". An 8" telescope will get almost 90% of the targets and under excellent skies, with a skilled observer, you can just about get them all in a 10" to 12" telescope.
The list can also be downloaded in file formats ready for upload to Argo Navis and Sky Tools.
There is also a sticky thread which has been running for a few years on the list
Cheers,
John B
