Encyclopedia > Herschel 400 Catalogue

The Herschel 400 catalogue is a subset of William Herschel's original deep sky catalogue of 2,500 deep sky objects, selected by members of the Ancient City Astronomy Club in St. Augustine, Florida, USA circa 1980. They decided to generate the list after reading a letter[1] published in Sky & Telescope by James Mullaney of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.[2]. Sir Wilhelm Friedrich Herschel, FRS KH (November 15, 1738 – August 25, 1822) was a German-born British astronomer and composer who became famous for discovering the planet Uranus. ... Deep sky is a term used by amateur astronomers to describe mostly faint objects outside the solar system like star clusters, nebulae and galaxies; compare with deep space. These objects are hundreds to billions of light years distant. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... 1980 (MCMLXXX) was a leap year starting on Tuesday. ... Sky & Telescope is a monthly magazine providing articles and information on all aspects of astronomy, space exploration, telescope equipment, and amateur telescope making and use. ...

Herschel 400 objects which are also Messier objects

The Herschel 400 contains a few objects which are currently considered to be part of the Messier catalogue. For example Messier never published M104 to M110[3] in his lifetime they were added in the 20th Century, an explanation as to why this is appears below: (19th century - 20th century - 21st century - more centuries) Decades: 1900s 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s As a means of recording the passage of time, the 20th century was that century which lasted from 1901–2000 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar (1900–1999...

Why does the Herschel 400 contain Messier Objects?

This is explained in the words of Dave Branchett:

"The H400 was born almost 30 years ago now out of the need for observers who had completed the Messier list and wanted another deep sky challange. Its hard to imagine but back in the mid 1970's observers had a limited sources of information, there was the SAO star charts that plotted all NGC IC objects but didn't lable them on the charts.

Norton's Star Atlas had gone through its last classic reprint appearing around 1970 and it contained a large number of Herschel objects but it was Becvar's Atlas Coeli that was the most popular to use at the time, even though it contained numerous atlas ommissions.

The RAS republished the original NGC and IC catalogues in 1971, Sulentic and Swift published the RNGC in 1975 but it was Burnhams that stole the show with its three volume set it opened up new horizans for the observer.

Telescopic equipment was also limited at that time, there were a few big boys but they were few and far between. The largest scope I owned back then was an 8" open tube A&E reflector that was built like a tank and weighed a ton but performed miracles.

So with this in mind the decission to include objects in the H400 that Messier had also seen was two fold.

  1. It already gave those who had completed the Messier list a leg up on the H400.
  2. it was a big help in building a list that would contain 400 objects of which for the most part would be small faint and fuzzy.

I well recall the late Fr Lucian Kemble remarking on how refreshing it was to see a bright beautiful nebula after seeing so many faint fuzzies.


As time went on however it also became apparent that some people were not just looking at these objects they were observing them. This made some people go back and re-observe the Messier objects when they had completed the H400, some were even amazed to see Herschel objects in the same field as Messier objects having completely overlooked them the first time around, especially the galaxies in Virgo.


Herschel had the upmost respect for Messier and he tried whenever possible not to duplicate any object recorded by Messier. If the H400 were to be done today I have no doubt that the Messier objects would not be included for we have so much at our disposal today and the optical performance of telescopes and binoculars are far superior than they were 30 years ago."
