You've only done Cleopatra's Eye and Acamar so far. The others are all within reach of a 10" telescope under dark skies, if you wanted to follow those up. Acamar is one of my all time favourite doubles, along with X Velorum.
Cheers

Hi John
Thank you for your list! I will follow them up next new moon cycle. My backyard is bortle 7/6 so I may need to travel to darker skies to see some of them. I love your 600 Southern Skies list (Bam 600)
Agreed on Acamar, I have not yet seen X Velorum, I'm adding it to my list of objects to observe. Thanks and wishing you clear skies!
