Stephen,
You also comment on a future entry for famous UK astronomers (and
opticians ??). Can I kick off a very small list here, which must be
fleshed out with many, many more names ?

Airy,
Adams,
Herschel.
Maskelyne
Young
Parsons
Grubb,
Hindle
Dollond
Dall
Ellison
Lassells
....Moore.,

To Herschel, add Herschel & Herschel.
Add Rosse, Earl of, unless covered by Parsons.
Add Orrery, Cork and.

Lassells/Lascelles??

How recent should it go? Hoyle, Hewish, Bell, ...

Probably anything in the FAQ should be expanded on the Web; but ISTM
that, in the FAQ, one-liners on twice those would not be grossly
excessive.
