After doing some research it seems that NGC 1750,  (H VIII-43), was at one 
time on the Herschel 400 list, but it is no longer a 400 object. My copy of 
"The Herschel Objects"  (2005 edition) I purchased thru the Astronomical 
League does show it as a 400 object. The current list on the AL web site 
does not list it a one of the 400.

NGC 1750, (H II-240),  is not listed as one of the 400, but NGC 7814 is 
listed in SAC 7.2 as well as on the current AL web page, but not in my copy 
of  "The Herschel Objects".

Eric, AJ, et al;

Right now I am in the middle of writing an article and can't look into
this until next week.  However, I don't remember a specific SAC list of
the H 400 objects.  You can pull them out of the main SAC deep sky list
by the "H" marker.  Please let us know if that is what you did.

Maybe the original H 400 from Brenda Branchett is different from the
one now used by the Astronomical League??

AJ or Ken Sikes, can you look into this, please?
