Nomenclature
William Rutter Dawes (19 March 1799 – 15 February 1868) was a British astronomer. Dawes was the son of William Dawes also an astronomer. Dawes was a clergyman who made extensive measurements of double stars as well as observations of planets. An optical phenomenon, the Dawes limit, is named for him.
