Named for Gordon John Garradd (1959– ), amateur astronomer and photographer who has wide-ranging interests in astronomy and natural history, amply demonstrated by his discovery of four novae in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a photographic fireball patrol and outstanding photographs of wildlife and storms. He has made extensive astrometric observations of minor planets and comets that have otherwise often gone unobserved in the southern hemisphere. He has produced some spectacular astronomical photographs and CCD images, been an observer with Spaceguard Australia and served as coordinator of a storm-spotter network. (M 29144) _ _.
