Hello Michael, this is Steve Mencinsky. We met once at an amastro conference in Parkes, would have been about 10 years ago. Was it you who has the son, Riley, who at the time had an interest in Flight Simulator???? Anyway, I am writing to you because I am the guy who first named the Lionel Murphy nebula. If you are at all interested, I can email you the story.
