	Messier Object 78
		M78 belongs to the Orion complex, a large cloud of gas and dust centered on the Orion Nebula M42/M43, and is about 1,600 light years distant.
		The nature of M78 as a reflection nebula was discovered by Vesto M. Slipher of Lowell Observatory in 1919 (Slipher 1919), by the investigation of its spectrum: M78 exhibits a continuous spectrum, which resembles that of the bright stars enlightening it.
		M78 is not difficult to locate from Zeta Orionis, also named Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt; M78 is situated about 2 degrees north and 1 1/2 degrees east of this star; a chain of 3 stars of mag 5..6, northward from Zeta, may help locating it.

	M78 Fiber OpticTwo Color Infrared Temperature Sensor
		The M78 series, with its matchless array of accessories, demonstrates Mikron's continuing leadership in infrared temperature measuring technology.
		The M78 series are "state of the art" instruments designed for the measurement of temperatures above 350°C (660°F).
		They utilize the 2-color principle, in which the temperature measurement is made by ratioing the radiation intensities of two adjacent wavelengths rather than from absolute intensity as with single band (or single color) instruments.

		M78 lies about 2.5 degrees northeast of the trailing star in Orion's belt, ζ Orionis or Alnitak.
		It would show up somewhat more clearly in a blue-filtered image, since reflection nebulae are bluer than their illuminating stars for the same reason that our daytime sky is bluer than sunlight.

		Jay McNeil's discovery image of the new nebulosity is at : http://wkaa dawt net/gallery/mcneil/mcneilnebulalum90labeled From what I've heard so far, earlier images of the M78 area taken back to 2001 show a hint of the new nebula, but it's not apparent on images from 2000 and earlier.
		So if any of you have images of M78 taken in the last year or so, they may help to demonstrate the evolution of this nebula.
