Named in honor of David J. Eicher, founder and editor-in-chief of Deep Sky magazine. In June 1977, as a high-school student, Eicher began Deep Sky Monthly, designed to promote amateur deep-sky observing. After more than fifty issues, the monthly became a quarterly in 1982, and Eicher became an assistant editor of Astronomy magazine. Through his magazine and two books on viewing, Eicher has worked tirelessly to encourage amateur astronomers to make high-quality observations of galaxies, clusters and nebulae. (M 16245) _ _.
