+Ibbo Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I remember her on TV, her books and she was also the first female president of the BAA +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 That is sad news indeed 😲 She did so much for astronomy, and when my old astro society (DDAS) built their observatory in the late 80's it was Heather who came along to open it. RIP Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+seven_legs Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sad news. It was her and Patrick Moore that got me into stargazing. Always liked her enthusiasm when she talked about astronomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sad news. Will always remember occasionally going for a pint (or two) with her and others after the BAA monthly Wednesday meetings in London during the mid 80's before catching the last train back to Loughborough. +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 "Shambolic old men in tweed jackets" was one of her more amusing one liners, when she described our astronomy fraternity back in the day when she first came on the scene. I don't think we have any 'shambolic old men in tweed jackets' at EMS......? 🤔 Or do we.....? 😄😉 Clive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I quite like tweed, it never goes out of fashion! 😁 +Bino-viewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
