William Frederick Denning

(Royal Astronomical Society)

Obituary: MNRAS 92, 248 (1932); PASP 43, 361 (1931); AN 243, 63 (1931).

Denning found 19 IC objects with his 10" Newtonian from Bristol; 17 were new. The two known ones are IC 342 and IC 356, discovered by Barnard (the latter perhaps already by Lewis Swift). All objects were found from 1890-92. There is no reference for 4 objects (and yet no exact date). These must be commuicated to Dreyer by letter.
