Guest Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I lost my Dad, Tom on Sunday morning and his sister Margaret Tuesday evening. Neither were astronomers but my Dad often liked to see my pictures on my mobile or laptop. Fortunately, they both lived long lives into their 80s. I'm trying to continue as well as I can but haven't as yet got back to observing and photography. I have processed some DSLR constellation images taken on April 12th and put them on my blog: http://sungazer127mak.blogspot.fr/ Dad did have the privilege of meeting Sir Patrick and HM The Queen.

Guest Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks again, Folks. I think getting back to observing would help me. Dad wasn't an astronomer himself but he liked looking at my photos and I remember showing him and my nephew the Sun through my PST and his surprise when he realised that he could see lunar craters at 2pm. I also remember how proud he was when he saw my first magazine article. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know but we taught each other a lot when we went fishing and we both had our claims to fame there.
