I hope you may share with me a moment's reflection for the passing of Sir Patrick Moore ...
at the tender age of 11, I joined the British Astronomical Society and their lunar section run by Patrick ... I travelled from Birmingham to London to a meeting ... my name was read out to go on stage and shake him by the hand ... I was far too shy ...
he sent newsletters and Christmas Cards always with an invite to visit him at his home Farthings in Selsey ...
a truly great man, the effort he devoted to encouraging amateur astronomy is equally as important as his TV persona if not more ...
