McNeil's missing nebula
The nebula discowered by amateur astronomer Jay McNeil two years ago
http://wkaa.net/gallery/mcneil/m78Lrgb appears to have disappeared or faded substantially. I did not detect it at all in a 4 min CCD image taken with a 6" Mak on 2005-12-25 http://www.mysky.org/mysky/?article_...rticle=1:24747 The nebula has been found on photographs from the 1960's so it clearly has a history of appearing and disappearing. Has anyone observed it lately? pej -- Per Erik Jorde

Professional observations have noted earlier changes in the underlying star. Paul
