Jeremy [Jeremiah] Shakerley (November 1626 – c. 1653) was an English astronomer who came from astrological traditions but followed an observational approach which led him to critique several works of his time.
In 1649 he began to critique the work of Vincent Wing which he published as The anatomy of Urania practica: … laying open the errors and impertinencies delivered … by Mr Vincent Wing, and Mr William Leybourne, under the title of Urania practica (1649).
[1] Shakerley's predictions were published by Robert and William Leybourne as Tabulae Britannicae: the British Tables (1653).
While in India, he calculated the latitude of Surat as "21 degrees and betwixt 10' and 15' North" writing to Henry Osborne in London.
He observed that Indian astrologers were able to make predictions of lunar eclipses with little error and sought to examine their methods.
