James Dunlop was a poor man and not well educated. The rich and well educated gave him and his catalogue a hard time in the 1800s. This book (Southern Gems) finally gives Dunlop the recognition he deserves. He was an amazing Scottish/Australian astronomer, he discovered hundreds of objects in just 7 months with the equivalent of a modern 6" reflector.
