Will you help a young Astronomer??

[Skipper Billy]

A humbling message to all members. Aston Smith is an 8 year old laddie. He has ADHD and Autism. He also has an almost fanatical interest in astronomy - so much so that he has just published his first book on Astronomy!!! He has extremely basic equipment and one of the reasons he wrote the book is to generate funds to buy a basic scope. His book is a fiver and I know times are hard but it would make a lovely Christmas present for someone you know. If you haven't got a fiver spare then why not send him a nice message?? You can buy the book or send him a message via this page https://www.astonsmith.me.uk/?fbclid=IwAR2uwy1DpBElXgNJndwM8EhG-wfqhSW4fbUtMS5Txy-wQ8Dd2DHiUnQEvTY?fbclid=IwAR2uwy1DpBElXgNJndwM8EhG-wfqhSW4fbUtMS5Txy-wQ8Dd2DHiUnQEvTY

I’m going to give a copy to my grandson, he’s only 18 months but it might be a great introduction when he’s a little older.

I have also just ordered a copy for my grandson, who is obsessed with looking at the Moon at the moment.  Especially early in the morning, much to his parents amusement 😀  Thanks for the link.

Just ordered a copy. Couldn't get the "reach out to Aston* messaging to work though. Anyone else had this problem? Perhaps his inbox is overflowing!

[fifeskies]

When you message in the message section don't do any "return" .

 Just write it as a long single line , I had the same problem until I got this pointer on another forum.

Worked after that for me.

Good to see so many supporting Aston , actually looking forward to seeing my copy of his book.
