In the last few weeks I have seen 188 of the 226 DSO south of dec +50:
All of the 40 GC on this list.
23 OC, 14 to go
28 nebulae, 16 to go
32 PN, 3 to go (NGCs 1514, 2371 7026)
65 galaxies, 5 to go (NGCs 185, 891, 1023, 2683, 3184)
I use a 12" Saxon Collapsible Dob and find objects by star hopping.

I can see much better now after cataract operations on both eyes.
