From W. B. BURTON
You report the detection of a nearby spiral galaxy lying behind a highly
obscured portion of the Milky Way (This Week, 27 August). I understand that
the article as originally submitted by your correspondent Govert Schilling
did mention the names of the Dwingeloo Obscured Galaxies Survey team, but
that the final editing led to their removal. The members of the team include
R. Kraan-Korteweg, Groningen University; A. Loan, O. Lahav and D. Lynden-Bell,
Cambridge University; P. Henning, University of New Mexico; H. Ferguson,
Space Telescope Science Institute; and myself.
