Caroline Herschel was the sister of the famous astronomer William Herschel. She assisted her brother in his observations and documented his results, but it is often forgotten that she was an excellent astronomer in her own right. In 1786 Caroline Herschel discovered her first of several comets and was rewarded by being paid a salary of £50 by King George III to become her brother's assistant. This was the first time a woman had been recognized in a scientific position. This paper announces the discovery of her sixth comet, which, unknown to Caroline Herschel, had already been sighted by the comet hunter Charles Messier just under 2 weeks earlier.
