Steve,
Celestial Harvest by James Mullaney.
(http://store.doverpublications.com/0486425541.html ) The premise of the
book for those who are not familiar is 300 show pieces for "backyard"
telescopes.
The version I have is the original spiral bound book which I bought from
Warren many moons ago, not the more recent perfect bound version that is
currently available. It is organized by constellation and this is nice
because I can just fold it open to where I am in the sky and work my way
through the list. When I got back into astronomy around 1999 I never
appreciated double stars until I started working through this book. I have
two copies of this and one has had my observations entered into it as I
worked through the various constellations.
I actually sat down and took the time to enter all the data of the book
(including descriptions) into an Access database that the telescope control
program I wrote for my Atlas EQ can use.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] What do you use to make up an observing list?
Howdy all;
Well, I am working on the 2ed edition of Deep Sky Observing and I need some
input, please.
In the first version I spent some time talking about using Burnham's and one
or two other resources that are now out of print to create an observing
list.
So, my question is "what source to you use to create an observing list?"
I know some of you are working on a list from the Astronomical League and
some are using the SAC lists that AJ and I created all those years ago. Do
any of you use the handpaddle of your GOTO system to create a listing to
what to see? How about a planetarium program?
Anyone using a specific book as a source? Please provide name and author.
Thanks for any input you can provide;
Steve Coe
