RE: (meteorobs) "Mr. Denning"
George,
Denning was an extremely active and pioneering British meteor observer in
the early decades of this century. He also discovered a few comets. To be
honest, I've probably not read much about Denning, or his works for over a
decade, so my memory is a bit hazy. I remember that there has been much
debate about Denning's minor radiants and it is probably fair to say that
many of these were not real. Denning was also a proponent of stationary
radiants that lasted several months. I think this battle was lost many
years ago. I'm sure the BAA or IMO will have a biography published in
their journals.
Cheers, Rob
