Thanks Rick. I'm not familiar with the new you mentioned. I'll have to look it up.

Thanks Mike! Yes I believe it was Palomar first. From wiki.
NGC 2261 was imaged as Palomar Observatory's Hale Telescope's first light by Edwin Hubble on January 26, 1949,[2] some 20 years after the Palomar Observatory project began in 1928. Hubble had studied the nebula previously at Yerkes and Mt. Wilson.
