has been interested in astronomy and looked up with
wonder at the sky ever since he can remember. As a
very young boy he used to gaze up at the night sky and
wonder how it all fitted together. That puzzle didn’t
start to unravel properly until the age of 9 when he
suddenly “discovered” The Plough for himself. Once he
had a start on the sky he gradually learnt his way
around the visible constellations and learning the
positions of all the “Celestial Lollypops” like the
Messier objects. Living in North London he first met
other kindred souls at South West Herts Astronomy
Society. One look at Saturn through their large
reflector had him hooked even more. As a teenager his
attention was directed elsewhere, but his interest in
astronomy was rekindled in 1985 when, as a newly
married man and with his daughter well on the way,
Halley’s comet returned and he bought his first
serious telescope, a 3 inch refractor.<br />
<br />
In 1987 he established the Bedford Astronomical
Society where I built some wonderful friendships. He
was Editor of the Handbook of the Federation of
Astronomical Societies for a few years and was elected
a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1996. He
has been the lead astronomer for Hale-Bopp and Aurora
flights for members of the public.<br />
<br />
He has appeared regularly on local radio discussing
many different aspects of astronomy and he has written
articles for many of the British astronomy
publications and supplied images to illustrate
astronomy articles for photographic magazines, most
recently two articles on astrophotography for Sky At
Night Magazine. In 2013 he had his first astronomy
book published by Springer and he has since written
and published his own guides which accompany his
successful and popular workshops. Dave also gives
talks and presentations to schools, social groups,
youth groups and astronomical societies or anyone else
who is interested in finding out more about the night
sky. He is also a STEMNET Ambassador.<br />
