I refer back to the ASWA system. On the floppy that came with the challenge is the ability to print out the list along with the appropriate columns for observing times, seeing conditions, comments on how the object looked etc. The list was based on needing nothing more than a scope with 100mm aperture. Of course there are a lot of binocular objects too. ASWA has a system of certificates for different levels (ie number of objects logged,) I would highly recommend it.
I have to agree that Messier chasing is an excellent way of getting to know one's way around the sky - by star-hopping!
But as I have said, it is ASWA's intellectual property and that Society would need to give the OK to go ahead with it.
Why re-invent the wheel?
Cheers!
