To @Jerry Gerber et al,  Let's not forget the very tool we are communicating within — Astrobin !!! 

I scan Recent Images, etc. often and find a multitude of targets, which I add to my Lists.  Our Community is terrific at that !!!

To always have my Lists handy, I have created Contacts in my iPhone — e.g. "AAA Summer Targets" or "AAA Winter Targets." 

In the Notes section of each is a reference to each Target, the constellation it is in, and (if it is obscure) its celestial coordinates.  I also include the Scope, Camera and Angle that I want to utilize.

In this — as I have mentioned to friends, I have a veritable lifetime of Targets to image ....

Very true!  Astrobin can be a great source.  I have trouble filtering the bought images out to see what is obtained in backyard astrophotography sessions with a similar uncropped FOV.

I’ve been using Stellarium for some time now. I use it to move to the target in NINA using framing. However, I’ve never put my yard features, trees, roof etc into the view of the software. That’s something I will do right away. This will help me to pick my targets more carefully. Thanks for that tip.

i wouldn’t filter out the service provider data. There’s some good targets in those sets. Many of them are requested by quite established astrophotographers after all.

To the OP, there are some good suggestions here. Gary’s spreadsheet is great after you learn the best ways to use it. Telescopius is a wonderful resource after you set up your rig(s) in it and have your locations all configured. I like perusing the IOTD/TP/TPN sections on Astrobin and usually find a few gems in there. SkyTools Imaging is another good resource.

On full moon nights I tend to go north. There are a lot of hidden gem galaxies north in Ursa Major and Minor.  I find 

M108, NGC 3718, NGC 3756, NGC 3448 just to name a few

Yes. Additionally, the "Find Images in the Same Area" button has a drop down to expand the range to 5 degrees. This is one of my plans once the clouds clear from my winter skies. Now that I am improving my IFN and dark molecular dust capture skill, I will be looking at images of such and using that tool as an adjacent search home base. Maybe not what OP is looking for, but it certainly seems like a path to interesting regions that have the potential for new discovery (personal or otherwise) without wasting valuable clear night time.

Tell Bray Falls that there's no new discovery in organized research.


Just FYI:
