NEIL ENGLISH.NET "Permanently retired"

[MAN or ASTROMAN]

I've just attempted to have a look at Neil English's website,and been met with the above message,dated 25/03/2016.

Hope it's not permanent,as I 've always enjoyed Mr. English's very informed and entertaining views on Telescopes (especially refractors),their history,and observational Astronomy in general.

Whatever his reasons for the above action,I wish him well for the future.

Very odd, not many weeks go by without an informative and entertaining article being posted by Neil. Going to miss his authorative views,

Nick.

Yes that would be a shame.  Neil's website was one of the few saved to my favourites and I would enjoy perusing it on a cloudy night.  He seems like a decent, honest, well-informed and very human sort of a chap.

Seems like it's back online this evening?  hurrah!

Thanks for that information Paul.

I've just checked out the 'Nuntio' section and comments on the site,which go someway to explaining that the site is "under re-construction.

Just pleased to see Neil back.
