    I've used Edmonds Mag 6 atlas, which is a wonderful overall guide to DSOs
    and double stars. It was my first atlas which I spent most of my 1st year
    observing with from my Los Gatos driveway (pre idiot neighbor's lights)
    through a 10" Coulter Dob.

    I have also used the SAC double star lists.

    I believe the AL has some doubles listed on their web-page.

    Other good sources are Burnham's and Night Sky Observer's Guide.
