David B. Healy (22 December 1936 – 6 June 2011) was an American astrophotographer and asteroid discoverer who is known for his contributions to Burnham's Celestial Handbook.
He was an automotive industry analyst for Drexel Burnham in New York and later a stock broker before retiring to Arizona.
Healy established the Junk Bond Observatory in Arizona for visual work and recoveries of minor planets.
The JBO established by Healy operates a 32-inch Ritchey Chretien reflector chiefly for minor planet astrometry and is credited with over 500 discoveries.
[3] After his chief co-discoverer Jeffrey Medkeff died in 2008, Dave decided to participate in the search for exo-planets.
