Why use lists? The same reason people use GO-TO telescopes I suppose. Observing time is short and I want to see as many "different" objects as I can.
I like to see new and intersting stuff that I've never observed before. I like to push my limits and see what kind of weird stuff is really out there.
Oh, I've spent many nights sitting on my observing chair with my 16x80's just panning the Milky Way. I love to do the same in the Winter Milky Way as well. I will usually have them set up on a mount and get some observing in while others are peering through my scope.
But if the night is clear, (we get far too few of them here in the Great Plains) I have my scope out, my list in hand, and am going deep!
