Astronomy poem by unknown author

[badhex]

Hello all, 

I posted this many years ago I think, but recently rediscovered it when I was reunited with all my London storage. The poem is typewritten on a small bit of paper which was in the box containing the EPs of the first scope I ever looked through and lataer inherited; this was my Grandad's scope, which in turn he was given by someone from the Chesterfield Astronomical Society many years ago. We have no idea who wrote it (probably at least 40 years ago) and I suspect I never will, but I find it quite lovely.
