That's a pretty interesting list, though it doesn't give me much hope of seeing many white dwarfs! I shall be looking out for Eridani B though. On the subject I came across this paper:

http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.1343v1

Which includes a table of the brightest white dwarfs in the Tycho-2 catalogue. (table 2). Now if only I knew how to translate the WD number in to something I have any idea of.....
