[AZ-Observing] Re: McNeil's Nebula Images

 From the

  SKY & TELESCOPE's WEEKLY NEWS BULLETIN - February 20, 2004

A COSMIC GAME OF PEEKABOO

Amateur astronomer Jay McNeil's January 23rd discovery of a newborn nebula
near Messier 78 is proving to be even more intriguing than first thought.
John Welch of Phoenix, Arizona, noticed that McNeil's Nebula actually
appeared once before -- in an old Sky Publishing title, THE MESSIER ALBUM
by John H. Mallas and Evered Kreimer (1978). That book contained a
15-minute white-light image taken by Kreimer on October 22, 1966, which
was first published in SKY & TELESCOPE in January 1970 (page 27).
