Tom, Thanks for answering my question. As soon as I'm able to write up some notes, I'll upload a new page for this object to my website and share the URL with the group. Were you at "5 Mile Meadow," this weekend? How was it? Regards, Bill Tom Polakis wrote: Bill, That's Pickering's Wedge, Pickering's Triangle, Pickering's Triangular Wisp, take your pick. We discussed this on Amastro in May of 2001. Here are a couple good messages in the archive, which we make publicly available: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amastro/message/4603 At the end of that URL, replace 4603 with the nubmers 4599, and 4604 through 4610 for more relevant messages. Brian Skiff points out that it was not discovered by Pickering, rather, it was found by Williamina Fleming, but attributed to her boss. ================== Bill Ferris "Cosmic Voyage: The Online Resource for Amateur Astronomers" URL: http://www.cosmic-voyage.net -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
