SUNRISE from Mt. WELLINGTON, TASMANIA

SUNRISE from Mt. WELLINGTON in TASMANIA



“Night recalls tranquility.
A curtain falls and sets it free.
Darkness calls eternity.
Down silent halls the shadows flee.”

Blondie “Forgive and Forget” – No Exit (2004)


For more than forty years I have been interested in astronomy, and after years of contemplating, I finally decided in 2001 to convert my writings of my general experiences and observations onto the Web and share with the rest of the world. These pages are my modest collection of the astronomical articles that I have written as papers, collected articles, or have presented as selected talks to local astronomical societies. Others also have been reproduced from my own notes as an adult educator at various Evening Colleges in Sydney.

Some maybe familiar with my previous written works, but other readers will find these are new or needed newer versions — several being necessary rewrites or are those that have just needed a few small or slight updates with modern discoveries or new knowledge. Some are brand new articles that have appeared nowhere else. The main ones of these are the “Classic Deep-Sky”, and some “Double Stars” articles, which do include the cremè de la cremè of the southern skies. I have also added a few northern ones just to keep those readers happy.

Bien, c’est la ve!

This slow evolution has eventually created these humble pages, which are now in the fourth incarnation. I do hope you enjoy my modest compilation!
