Scientific paper

Photometric and spectroscopic data have been acquired for a small nebulous blue object near the heavily obscured galaxy Maffei 1. The observations show that the object is a galactic reflection nebula illuminated by an early, main-sequence B star at a distance of about 3 kpc. Application of the Q-method to the photometry of the star indicates that Maffei 1 suffers at least 3.3 magnitudes of visual extinction.
