Great night's viewing in all,
as well as sky at night, Patrick Moore appeared in the program about amateur astronomers, can never get enough of him and I often think how lucky we are to have such a man who dedicated most of his life to this wonderful interest. Hope he lives to 120.
Makes we wonder though, who might pick up the gauntlet after his time?
Perhaps his young apprentice?
But he would need to develop some severe eccentricities to get the job
