S. Shoemaker and D. H. Levy at Palomar. An active amateur astronomer, Brent Archinal (b. 1956) specializes in correcting catalog data for stellar groupings and nonstellar objects. He also has finished the most complete catalog yet assembled of open and globular clusters. Today he works for the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona.
