Herbert Alonzo Howe

Obituary: PASP 38, 379 (1926)

Between 1894 and 1900 Howe found 116 IC objects with the 20" Clark refractor at Chamberlain Observatory, Denver, Colorado. 62 objects were new. Except one (the "not found" IC 5385) all are galaxies. There are some objects credited to Howe by Dreyer, discovered earlier by other observers. Not listed here are objects credited to Swift and Howe. In these cases Howe has checked Swift's discoveries.
