[sac-board] Re: Webpage Deep Sky or Deep Something Question

No I'm not worried about that, I'll go with whatever the Deep Sky Group
goes with. I'm just trying to understand the ground rules at this point
so I can plan my strategy. I haven't observed that many "1000" objects
to matter yet and am just dabbling in it right now, still toying with
the idea of going fer it. Both ways, excluding the 3 or excluding the 4,
are attractive. If it was the 3, which excludes some 620 objects, then
the Beyond NGC and the " Herschel II " 400 lists would both be fair
game.

As far as doubles, I don't think Steve (or Gerry) had any doubles on
their 1000 lists and I wouldn't either. Ask Steve if he had any Beyond
NGC on his list for that matter. Haha, good project for him!
