William Frederick Denning, 1848 - 1931
Summary
William Frederik Denning, although he was not a professional astronomer in the usual sense of the epithet, Denning made significant contributions to the development of meteor astronomy and was an avid 'sweeper' of comets and observer of the planets. In practice his field of interest was both wide and deep and his enthusiasm for observing inexhaustible.
