Not intending to be pretentious, I picked up on a few news articles referencing the newly discovered McNeil's nebula. Amateur astronomer Jay McNeil made the discovery while imaging with a 3" scope from his backyard in western Kentucky. Near M78, the running theory is a newborn star (IRAS 05436-0007) is now lighting up the area. I believe this format would be a fitting place to offer a hearty congratulations to Mr. McNeil for his contribution to backyard astronomy.

It's a nice sentiment, but a bit late. See page 3 of this forum...
