User:Minnastronomer

I am an astronomer from Minnesota.

Some articles I've contributed to; Johann Abraham Ihle, Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebulae, Johann Gottfried Köhler, Léna Bernstein

Some articles I've wrote: Jen Nagel, NGC 6664, Ann Svennungsen, Sh 2-170, Sh 2-4, Sh 2-5, Sh 2-12, Sh 2-13, Sh 2-14, Sh 2-15, Sh 2-16, Sh 2-17, Köhler's Deepsky Catalogue, 44 Cygni, Sh 2-18, Sh 2-19, Sh 2-20, Sh 2-21, Sh 2-22, Sh 2-23, Sh 2-24, RCW 145

I have, even if unintentionally, found myself working extensively on expanding wikipedia's coverage of the Sharpless Catalog, which has been in need of some tidying-up of redirects, broken links, and non-existent articles. This has also led me to be actively working on the RCW Catalogue and the Gum Catalog which have significant overlap. Also, why has nobody standardized the spelling of Catalog(ue)?
