Tom, it would be a great idea to review your observations and submit for a Herschel 400 award, although at times that may take a little time. Looking forward to your report.
The way Joe Goss has been observing it wouldn't surprise me if the did 10000. :)) But, alas, it is just a typo.

I really need to turn on my Burnham's observations, and claim my 1000 list award. There are 1700 objects north of -50 degrees, and I looked at all of them between 1985 and 1992. The good news was that there are only a couple dozen or so Herschel 400 objects that are not already in Burnham's. Is Joe Goss going for 10000 beyond or 1000 beyond?!?

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.

Yes, but what have I done lately? 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 Ray If I recall Jack was the last member to get there (Dick was in KC when he did 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 Awards I am interested in knowing if anybody in SAC has completed the Herschel 400 since 2002.
