Oh my, I just caught that last bit about a 2nd 1000 beyond award :-) That's sounds very interesting!!! I'm up for that!

Whoops, I missed Jack's message. Actually I haven't been interested in completing a 1000 list but encourage all to consider. Jack your time will come and it will be much more rewarding. Don't give up the quest!So far 3 SAC members have completed this daunting assignment. They are Steve Coe, 1993; Joe Goss 2005 and David Hofland -whose date is invalid on my list. David can you give me month and year for the award? I have something like 20/09, meaning 20th month of 2009.Rumor has it that Joe Goss is attempting a second 10000 Beyond.

It seems my SAC 1000 Beyond has been frozen somewhere in the 600's for quite some time now. Call me some kind of a cockeyed optimist, I'm still shooting for this lifetime.Jack Jimmy Ray wrote:I'm also working it and am little over half way to completion... Jimmy RayIf I recall Jack was the last member to get there (Dick was in KC when hedid his). I'm 125 away, if the weather would cooperate. :( Clear Skies Rick Tejera Editor SACnews, Public Outreach Coordinator Saguaro Astronomy Club Phoenix, Arizona www.saguaroastro.org saguaroastro@xxxxxxx K7TEJ -----Original Message-----From: sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tom Polakis Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 12:25 To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sac-forum] SAC's Herschel 400 AwardsI am interested in knowing if anybody in SAC has completed the Herschel 400 since 2002.
