Luke Welsh, who jointly discovered M29 with Colquitt, is on this forum. His user ID, appropriately enough, is M29. You could try sending him a PM (private message) re: their photos.

[URL=http://seattletimes.com/ABPub/2004/06/09/2001952389.jpg]Here[/URL] is a photo of Josh Findley. The associated [I]Seattle Times [/I]article would be [URL=http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2001952730_findley10e.html]here[/URL].

This would be good info to add to the wiki.

There are "stubs" for the various discoverers.

Help save a kitten and edit the wiki!

(What would be really neat is to contact each living discoverer and ask them for a bio and a statement about their find.)

I have contacted Nickel before. Noll is pretty verbose in his websites. Slowinski is still reachable.
