A SADLY MISSED MEETING (LPOD November 15, 2006)

http://www2.lpod.org/wiki/November_15,_2006
In this LPOD, Chuck Wood mentioned a series of rather unknown names (and also familiar ones) related to the world of not-so-recent selenology and selenography.
It would be great to discover all sorts of online facts and sources to learn more about the rather unknown names.
The 31 names:
Beer/ Cassini/ Cherubin de Orleans/ Crouzel/ Eimmart G.C./ Flammarion/ Fontana/ Fournier/ Galileo/ Goodacre/ Scheiner/ Grimaldi/ Hall/ Hevelius/ Jarry-Desloges/ Maclear/ Madler/ Maw (this could be Dr. W.H.Maw, the observer of the small reddish spot in South on the 15th of June 1913)/ Molesworth/ Nielson/ Renart/ Rudaux/ Russell/ Sacco/ Schmidt/ Schroeter/ Scriven Bolton/ Stuyvaert (this must be Charles Emile Stuyvaert)/ Tobias Mayer/ Wadsworth/ Zlatinsky
Most of these names are mentioned in T.W.Webb's Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes, Volume 1: The Solar System.

The WITH mystery

The lowermost corner (or section) of this page (Part 4 of lunar observers) is perhaps the best place to start a new little project to try to shed light on one of the many obscure mysteries in the history of optical astronomy.
  Who was the telescope maker and occasional observer of the moon and the planets partially known as WITH? The name WITH is frequently mentioned throughout both Volumes 1 and 2 of T.W.Webb's Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes (Dover, 1962). For example, see footnote 1 in page 59 of the chapter MERCURY (Volume 1), which shows us something (albeit very briefly) about the 10-1/4 inch WITH-BROWNING reflector...
  A Google search on the internet (WITH) is almost impossible, because WITH is not recognized as a name.
 Aha!!! W.P.Sheehan and T.A.Dobbins in their EPIC MOON (page 157) let us know something about a certain George With who made a 9.25-inch silver-on-glass reflector, through which T.W.Webb observed the moon.
