That's an impressive list of objects to observe in only 2 hours. Not sure if enough time is spent at each object to really appreciate what you're observing but just finding them all in that time is quite a feat. Admittedly, some of the galaxies are in clusters and are in the same FOV which helps and LMC nebs are as well.
Sounds like a fun night and I agree that star hopping can be much faster than using GoTo and more rewarding in that you are learning to navigate around the sky and it becomes memorised, for next time . All my dobs are push to via Bobroff etc. and I love it that way, so much more rewarding.
