 Johann Gottfried Koehler (1745-1801)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Johann Gottfried Koehler was born in Gauernick (near Dresden), Germany on December 15, 1745.
He was secretary of the Astronomical Society of Leipzig from 1771 to 1776, and in 1776 he was appointed as Inspector of the combined Museums, the Chamber of Art and the Salon of Mathematics in Dresden.
Koehler is quoted with the original discoveries of M67 (before 1779), M59 and M60 (both on April 11, 1779), 1 day before Oriani independently found M59, and 4 days before Messier found both (and in addition M58) on April 15, 1779.

 Koehler's Deepsky Catalog
On December 17, 1778, Johann Gottfried Koehler communicated to Bode a list of 20 nebulous objects, which was published in the "Astronomisches Jahrbuch" for 1782 (Koehler and Bode, 1779).
In addition, an apparent independent finding by Koehler of M3 was announced in the "Jahrbuch" for 1785 (Koehler and Bode, 1782).
The descriptions and drawings of Koehler's numbers 9, 12, 16, 17A and 17B are too inacurate for a safe identifiation of these objects; most of the drawings are completely useless for this purpose.

 Koehler's Original Deepsky Catalog
Johann Gottfried Koehler's Catalog of Nebulous Objects was published by Johann Elert Bode in 1779, in the "Astronomisches Jahrbuch" for 1782.
Messier has first noted on May 3, 1764, mentioning has occurred already in the previous volume [Jahrbuch for 1784], page 182, and why this one doesn't occur in my first catalog of nebulae.
Koehler show me, that in the VII-th volume of the Paris 10-year ephemerides there occurs a typing error in the declination of the same [nebula] and instead of 26d 32' -- 29d 32' should be read.

 Charles Messier
Comet Halley was finally discovered by the German amateur astronomer Johann Georg Palitzch in the Christmas night (December 25-26) of 1758.
There was a modest discovery "outburst" when the comet passed Virgo and the Virgo cluster of Galaxies, and was observed by Messier, Johann Gottfried Koehler from Dresden, and Barnabus Oriani in Milan.
Thus Koehler discovered M59 and M60 on April 11, 1779, but overlooked M58 which was discovered by Messier when he independently also found the other two on April 15.

Peter Brosche describes an early visual photometer employed by Johann Gottfried Koehler (1745-1801) in Dresden, Alberto Meschiari edits and comments letters by Franz Xaver von Zach (1754-1832) to the physicist Gerbi in Pisa and the librarian Pozzetti at Bologna, and Karin Reich describes and edits Bessel's book critique of Gauss' Theoria Motus.
The first paper is by Guenther Oestmann and deals with contemporary assessments of Johann Hieronymus Schroeter's (1745-1816) astronomical works and with later judgements of the scientific importance and significance of his observations as seen by astronomers and historians.
Peter Brosche, in the fifth paper, discusses the rediscovery of Ceres in December1801, a discovery that was the result of the combined efforts of a theoretician (Gauss) and an observer (Zach).

 M 71   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Its denser, easily visible core is only about 5 to 6 arc minutes, while in photos it has an angular diameter of about 7', corresponding to a linear extension of only 25 light years, small for a globular cluster.
M71 was first seen by De Cheseaux who cataloged it as his No. 13, and later rediscovered by Johann Gottfried Koehler between 1772 and 1779, and by Pierre Mechain on June 28, 1780.
Charles Messier cataloged it based on his observations of October 4, 1780, as a nebula without stars.
