Hey Craig,
That looks like a great way to keep track of bagging the Messiers and Caldwells. Personally I keep a log book while observing but most don't.
The Visual Binaries list is pretty useless without magnitudes and separations and the Caldwell list has a typo for C 64's location but the Messier list is quite nice.
Keep on observing and recording.
DSD.

The best list of objects for starting are the few pages in the RASC Observer's handbook. After the Messier list their Finest NGC List of 110 is very good. Just photocopy it from a public library copy.
The Observer's Handbook also has great lists of Double Stars, Carbon Stars, Dark Nebulae, Brightest Galaxies, Open Clusters, Globulars, etc. They could use a better list of Planetaries. but lots of selection there.
