A series of alphabetic indexes of names of less-known and unknown telescopic observers of the sun, the planets, and comets
The first part (the alphabetic index of names in the chapter THE MOON) is online in the lower half of the page CELESTIAL OBJECTS FOR COMMON TELESCOPES.
The third part (the alphabetic index of names in Volume 2: THE STARS) is online in the page Into the Dungeons of Astronomy.
This page is an appendix to T.W.Webb's classic Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes, Volume 1: The Solar System (Dover, 1962).
The alphabetic indexes of the hundreds of names are arranged in a special way, according to the chapters THE SUN, MERCURY, VENUS, MARS, THE MINOR PLANETS, JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS AND NEPTUNE, (there was still no Pluto in those days), COMETS, and METEORS.
The purpose of these online alphabetic indexes (in this page) is to create a handy overview of the large amount of names which were printed all over the pages of Webb's Volume 1, with Wikipedia links (biographies).
Webb himself didn't made an alphabetic index of his many mentioned names, which is a pity because such an index (or indexes) could have been VERY useful!
Since June 2015 I feel a powerful compulsion or urge to do something about it (a new approach of T.W.Webb's Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes).

Note: Most of the names below are already on the moon as official nomenclature (IAU), they don't need Wikipedia links because you can get them in the column at left (see the ABC). The main purpose of this page is to find out who the other names were, and if there are Wikipedia pages for them.
Names in the chapter THE SUN, pages 33-57

Now, one of the names in the chapter VENUS is van Ertborn (Baron van Ertborn). This van Ertborn seems to have (repeatedly) observed a bright point detached from the southern horn of Venus (of the crescent of Venus). Yes indeed, this is one of the many examples of the phenomenon known as the Cytherean Cusp Caps, mentioned in Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies (W.R.Corliss, 1979).
But... who was this Baron van Ertborn? Was it perhaps Baron Frans Emmanuel van Ertborn, 1716-1791 ???
Certainly not, because... according to T.W.Webb, van Ertborn observed that bright point near Venus in 1876... (see page 66 in Volume 1 of Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes).
Was it perhaps Baron Octave van Ertborn? (1839-1909).

Names in the chapter MINOR PLANETS (ASTEROIDS/ PLANETOIDS), pages 179-180
This is not really a chapter because, according to T.W.Webb, minor planets hardly come within the design of these pages.
There's only one name in this little chapter; a certain Herr Witt (Carl Gustav Witt, 1866-1946), the discoverer of asteroid Eros.
