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.
