<< As an aside here, when he talks about only 4 in recent times found by
accident... Comet Kobayashi-Berger-Milon was also found independently by a
friend of mine in town here, Art Fraser... and several of us helped him
confirm it.... but he was number #4.. and they only take the first 3 names
:( >>
Just like a friend who photographed the supernova in M81 (I think) a few days
before its "official" discovery. Problem was he didn't know what he had until
AFTER the discovery. Every galaxy photographer should have the "Spot a
Supernova" guide books. (OK, OK I forget the real name of the guides - but
y'all get the point) :)
