Herschel 400 Roundup

Last year I started working on observing the Herschel 400 (and cataloged my results for 2012 back in October). While for a variety of reasons 2013 wasn’t the best year for amateur astronomy for me, I was still able to get some observing time in and added some more objects to my Herschel 400 tally. How did I do in 2013? NGC 752 NGC 1245 NGC 2548 (Messier 48) NGC 3007 NGC 3034 (Messier 82) NGC 3607 NGC 3608 NGC 4216 NGC 4251 NGC 4261 NGC 4273 NGC 4274 NGC 4281 NGC 4303 (Messier 61) NGC 4631 NGC 4656 NGC 5273 NGC 5557 NGC 5866 NGC 5907 NGC 6207 NGC 6229 NGC 6633 NGC 6755 NGC 6781 NGC 6826 NGC 6882 NGC 6885 NGC 6934 NGC 7000 NGC 7006 NGC 7008 NGC 7009 NGC 7062 NGC 7160 NGC 7217 NGC 7296 NGC 7331 NGC 7790

A while back, I started working through the Herschel 400 catalog, because I only had seven Messier objects left to observe and none of them were currently in the night sky. That was back in August. How have I been doing since then? NGC 40 NGC 129 NGC 136 NGC 185 NGC 205 (Messier 110) NGC 225 NGC 278 NGC 381 NGC 404 NGC 436 NGC 457 NGC 488 NGC 598 (Messier 33) NGC 637 NGC 654 NGC 659 NGC 663 NGC 869 NGC 884 NGC 891 NGC 1023 NGC 1027 NGC 1501 NGC 1502 NGC 5195 (Messier 51b) NGC 6823 NGC 6830 NGC 6834 NGC 6866 NGC 6905 NGC 6910 NGC 6939 NGC 6940 NGC 6946 NGC 7479 NGC 7606 NGC 7686 NGC 7789 This is currently a total of 38 objects, which isn’t too bad for about a month and a half.
