Guillaume Le Gentil was born in Coutances and intended to enter the church before turning to astronomy. He discovered what are now known as the Messier objects M32, M36 and M38, as well as the nebulosity in M8, and he was the first to catalogue the dark nebula sometimes known as Le Gentil 3 (in the constellation Cygnus). On his voyage to observe the transit of Venus he had many setbacks. Wikipedia. See: Brunet, Manuel du Libraire, Volume 3, page 940.
