Walter Frederick Gale

Walter Frederick Gale (November 27,1865 – June 1,1945) was an Australian banker. He had a strong interest in astronomy and built his first telescope in 1884. He discovered a number of comets, including the lost periodic comet 34D/Gale. He also discovered some double stars. In 1892 he described oases and canals on Mars. He was awarded the Jackson-Gwilt Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1935 for "discoveries of comets and his work for astronomy in New South Wales." A crater on Mars was named in his honor.
