Too many DSO's, too little dark sky and time.

Glen you are the King.............. these lists are fantastic. I usually spend quite some time making viewing plans before a big night observing. Now I just have to bring up the list and sort it whichever way I want and print, and there you have it. Thanks for your efforts, they make observing much easier for people with little time. They also help expand ones knowledge of what there is to look at.
