Orange Haze

Male

I first got the spark for stargazing when I was around 12 and started to ask some of those big questions to which there are few answers. I wrote a letter to Sir Patrick Moore and was astounded when I had a reply from the man himself. This spurred me on more and the next present from my parents was a Tasco 70mm scope. I still have this scope today and while it doesn't get much use, I can't bear to part with it.

Since then my interest has peaked and waned and peaked again over the years, as other interests and a wonderful family took up more time. But now I find myself firmly back in the grip of the stargazing bug and am enjoying every minute.

Other than astronomy, I am known to play tennis and golf, as well as taking my kayak out to sea when the weather permits. In fact nearly every hobby I have depends on our blessed British weather being fair. Oh well..... :)
