According to Wikipedia, George Washington Hough was an American astronomer. Biography George Washington Hough was born in Tribes Hill, New York on October 24, 1836. He discovered 627 double stars and made systematic studies of the surface of Jupiter. He designed and constructed several instruments used in astronomy, meteorology, and physics. From 1862 to 1874, Hough was director of Dudley Observatory, Albany, New York. In 1879 he was appointed professor of astronomy at the University of Chicago. He became the director of Dearborn Observatory when the observatory was moved to Evanston, Illinois. He introduced original plans for the dome and electric control for the telescope. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1872.
