Named in honor of Michael J. Hendrie, an English amateur with a longstanding interest in astronomy and skilled in the construction of his own instruments. Hendrie has constructed several observatories, most recently one housing a 0.25 m folded reflector for astrometric comet photography. A co-discoverer of periodic comet Crommelin in 1956, he began systematic comet photography in 1952, an interest that stimulated him to take an important role in promoting professional-amateur collaboration in Britain during the International Halley Watch. He served as director of the Comet Section of the British Astronomical Association for ten years. (M 17225) _ _.
