I originally discovered HH288 in 1991 using a telescope on Kitt Peak in Arizona. Follow-up observations included this image in the H2 line, taken from Calar Alto in Spain in 1996.
We also conducted millimetre observations of the jet from Plateau de Bure in France & the Sierra Nevada range in Spain, showing that there are at least two massive outflows.
