Another one I just remembered.
Our dear friend John Dobson.
I remember when John came to Ballarat and in his question time someone asked him if he himself had named the mount 'Dobsonian' or had the Scientific Community named it.
John then told the story of how he was always grumbling to his friends about how he hates the way telescopes are named after people: Cassegrain, Newton, Dall Kirkham, etc. instead of by the optical system used.
So when he started using his 'Easy Mount' his Astro mates called it the Dobsonian to stir him up!
And he isn't really happy about it
But to get to the point.
John Dobson didn't invent the Dobsonian Mount, and he is quick to tell people that.
He says "Heck, they had cannons sitting on them for hundreds of years! I didn't invent it. Some Chinaman or Spaniard did"
