Bio

I've been an amateur astronomer and member of Skyscrapers for over 50 years since I joined our august group in 1973.  I enjoy visual viewing, some light imaging and chasing solar eclipses, having been lucky enough to see 5 so far.

Abstract

The Lure of Southern Skies

I've been very fortunate to have the chance to travel below the equator to Chile in South America a couple of times. 

What draws me there? The scenery for one thing. The chance to travel to an exotic place for another. Most importantly, is the opportunity to view not only some of the celestial objects we can't see from our latitude, but to also do so in an extremely dark area. 

This talk will be both a bit of travelogue and of course highlights of what we saw and imaged from truly dark southern skies.
