Hi Andrew,
that second spreadsheet you mentioned would also be very good.
what I was looking for was to get a list of objects that are say above a certain magnitude of brightness and are visible after dark in a certain location at a date and time.
alt/az co-ordinates would be useful for users with dobsonian mounts and manual setting circles on the Dob mounts as we could then look at the list, look it up in stellarium or your second chart for its current alt/az position and try and point the dob to that location.
eg, I was in the snake valley camp night before last, had some dark skies, but was'nt sure at what i could see at that time even though I had stellarium, so a chart/list from a spreadsheet like yours would have been very useful.
