George Eric Deacon Alcock (1912-2000) was a renowned British astronomer recognized for his significant contributions as a visual discoverer of novae and comets. Initially focused on meteors, he shifted to comet hunting in 1953 and nova discovery in 1955. Alcock discovered two comets in 1959, marking a notable achievement in British astronomy. He continued discovering comets through the 1960s and made his first nova discovery in 1967. His achievements are notable given he operated without modern electronics, and his successes in the field remain unparalleled.
