This list contains Herschel 400 objects, minus those in the former lists : finally 186 objects.

As mentionned, Herschel 400 is a list of 400 selected deep-sky objects. In 1999, in a "Sky and Telescope" issue, Jay Reynolds Freeman claimed they are all visible in a 60 mm refractor. The G. Gauthier and J.R. Gilis lists confirm the visibility of more than a half of these objects; the list above is to be confirmed.
There is a complete version of the H400 list - Excel file (Xls).
