Memoirs of an Astronomer, Naturalist and Weather Recorder by Dr Alan W Heath

Recommended Posts

To those of us of senior years, Alan Heath will be a familiar name, perhaps best known for his Saturn and Solar observations - and a man of many talents.

I received a copy of this book for my birthday today from a very long and valued friend.  I was so pleased with it I wanted to share it with others who might be interested.

It's well printed and profusely illustrated with nice b&w and colour drawings and photographs.  If you're a keen practical astronomer you'll love it.  If you're a naturalist and weather buff as I am as well, you'll think you've won the lottery.   Its available through Amazon.

Happy Birthday @paulastro !

Our forebears seem to have worked harder and recorded better with simple equipment. Maybe our "stuff" is getting in the way?

Many thanks Stephen, that's very kind of you. I still have another present to look forward to before my birthday ends - it's forecast to be clear all night so I'll be out by the time Nautical Dusk arrives - no more Astronomical Dusk this far North fir a while now.
