I agree that Hartung's is a good place to start. In fact, I liked it so much, I have just finished transferring the information (NGC, Constellation, RA, Dec, Mag etc) contained in the book and table into a spreadsheet. I started just after Christmas, but with the weather so far, I have had a fair bit of timeon my hands. After some final tidying up, I have put a copy onto my iPaq. That way I can refer to the sheet outside to pick something to look at and GoTo it. The problem with a GoTo is you have a huge list of things to look at, but it is difficult to determine if you will actually see anything. I have also added a sheet that contains the "gems" for showing visitors.

As I get my magazines each month, I also add objects to the list and update the spreadsheet in the iPaq.
