Only been at this for about 2 years. I also have no issues supporting the little guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev100 Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the kind comments and feedback. It's been ... emotional ... 🙂 To those of you who read the books, I'd be eternally grateful if you would leave a short review on Amazon... No worries if not 👍 Cheers, Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertI Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Just ordered “A decade in stargazing”. 🙂 Also thinking about getting ‘Demystifying’ for my friend who is just starting out - I have lent him my Heritage 130P and he’s had a squint at the moon already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9wis Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I just finished reading a book titled 'The Stargazing Year'. It was about the struggles of an amatuer astronomer trying to build and observatory in his back yard. Looking forward to reading your book Brian Horwitz-DeRemer Planetarium Waukesha, Wi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way you have managed to mix in descriptions of your favourite objects (some of them not so well known) with interesting backstories about where you were and what was happening at the time. And it seems like you have travelled plenty and seen much. I also like the way the book can be used either for reference or just as a good read. I think anyone on this forum would enjoy your book, whether novice or experienced. Well done and more please.
