Portion of Neil Fleming's 30 hour image of IC1396 showing best

known image of Crisp1 as of 1 November 2006. Image was important

in confirming the discovery was a planetary nebula rather than noise in

the 2004 and 2005 images. Because of the clarity in a 30 hour exposure

the object was easy to identify as a nebula  greatly assisting the verification

process. Because the DSS and POSS images aren't as "deep" and are not 

taken using emission line filters, this object shows rather poorly in those

reference plates making identification as a nebula inconclusive based on 

that resource. The Emission Line images are better suited for this sort of 

discovery work than are the DSS images for that reason.

Images of third parties used under the doctrine of FAIR USE as defined under Title 17 USC, section 107:

from: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the Copyright Act (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” Although fair use was not mentioned in the previous copyright law, the doctrine has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years. This doctrine has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered “fair,” such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

  1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

  2. the nature of the copyrighted work;

  3. amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

  4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
