Default New Resources for Amateur Astronomers

I have posted the first three resources to the website - these cover
variable stars, quasars and binary/double stars.

Interesting. I would rate QSO 0957+561 as the top Quasars for amateurs in
the Northern Hemisphere. Did I miss them on the list?

I would agree but NOT because its a quasar but a dual treat -
a gravitationally lensed quasar which amateurs with care can
resolve photographically. Given that fact then its a skip and a
jump to trying to capture a spectrum of it! We succeeded at all
with modest equipment. So, in addition to 273 and 73c etc this
grav lensed quasar belongs on any list ... imho ... Im biased.

Martin
Where did you get the lists from. ?SEDS
It would be nice to have an equivalent southern sky list of the quasars
