There are a few, myself among them. I'm about halfway there after about 
oh 8 yrs off and on, and don't know if it will be completed in my 
lifetime (esp how the weather has been going :-). The Herschel II are 
faint really obscure objects mostly and anyone trying them good luck and 
happy observing! I think rather than add a Saguaro Herschel II list, why 
don't we just join AL? They have added many new lists in the past few years.

It may be better and simpler to just ignore the H II as we do the Beyond 
The NGC list (H II and any other lists that come along, like Arp, 
Hickson, etc etc) and cut off the 1000 list with the Herschel 400 as we 
have it now. What I mean is keep it like it is, a classic, and 1000 
Beyond means 1000 beyond the Herschel 400. What a pain for you to check 
400 more objects to not be on the 1000 list, plus doesn't that make it 
harder for anyone starting the 1000 list now? Of course, this is only 
going to affect a few people.
