Do we have any celebrity members?

I was once on 'Fifteen to one'.

Does that count? er....probably not.

[foundaplanet]

Well there's me of course but I can't say who I am!

Jennifer Anniston?

Been trying to read this but my head keeps seeing Myleene Klass and hearing Dr. Feelgood and I'm in too much of a happy place to go beyond that.

Erm, Dave Aguilar, singer in the 60s band The Chocolate Watchband became a professor of Astronomy at Colorado for a while. Oh, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, Dave BRock from Hawkwind has apparently got an interest in astonomy.

Actually I once got interviewed in Weston-Super-Mare town centre for a news item on whether Jeffrey Archer should be allowed to continue as "Lord" following his release from prison. Guessing everyone would be against I decided to buck the trend and say he's paid his price, unlike most other peers, and his experience would add to his understanding of some issues. Made sure I got a prime news slot!

Not been a prolific poster but could this be JSR... Jonathan Stephen Ross??? (The DOB on the profile is correct btw but that's public knowledge)

Edit: DOB, in this instance, refers to Birthday not scope mount

[geoff_k]

I seem to recall that the late Michael Bentine had an interest. He certainly appeared on the Sky at Night with PM.

John Dobson (of Dobsonian fame) counts as a famous amateur if not a celebrity and I see that Nik Szymanek has a Wikipedia entry so he must be famous!

Sadly, the list of celebrity astronomers doesn't seem to be very long. I expect they are far too busy enjoying their exciting celebrity lifestyles.

The image of his (ever wonderful!) "pigeon walk". How the heck did the guy avoid "blackout" problems

Well there's me of course but I can't say who I am!

Barbara Windsor?

[haitch]

Barbara Windsor?

She may have the bagpipes but not the sporan!

[pastiche]

Well there's me of course but I can't say who I am!

Dave Lister?

[Astronut]

KT Tunstall has more than a passing interest. Her dad introduced her to the stars when she was a child and that's why her first album is called 'Eye to the Telescope'.

[Nosivad]

Barbara Windsor?

Now you're just being silly. OOh Matron!!

[Telrad]

Rory Delap - Irish Footballer, now with Stoke City

[Telrad]

Mark Thompson has become a celebrity. Why don't we include him?

[nicnac]

[saturn4me]

The People's Astronomer..

[nicnac]

[kelius]

Dan Ackroyd is passionate about UFO's, and I kinda believe the two go hand in hand, don't they? Surely he must own a telescope?

[bish]

Brian Blessed.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Brian Blessed.

Can you just not hear him bellowing abuse at the clouds
