Edward Pigott (1753–1825) was an English astronomer. ==Biography== Son of the astronomer Nathaniel Pigott. Pigott's work focused on variable stars. Educated in France with a mother from Louvain, the family moved to York in 1781. Despite their significant age difference, he was a friend and collaborator of John Goodricke (his distant cousin) until the latter's untimely death at the age of 21 in 1786. In 1785, Pigott informed the Royal Society of his discovery of a new variable star. This was Eta Aquilae which he had identified the previous year. He corresponded with leading astronomers of the day including William Herschel〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15150coll7/id/7333 )〕 and Nevil Maskelyne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://archive.org/details/philtrans09725652 )〕 Pigott moved to Bath in 1796.
