ABOUT THESE SOUTHERN PAGES
For almost forty years I have been interested
in astronomy, and after years of contemplating, I finally
decided to convert my writings of my general experiences
and observations onto the Web to share with the world.
These pages are a modest collection of the astronomical
articles that I have written as papers, collected articles,
or have presented as selected talks to several local
astronomical societies. Others also have been reproduced
from my own notes as an adult educator at various Evening
Colleges.
Many maybe familiar with my previous written
works will find these are new or new version to the reader
— several being rewrites or are those that have just
needed a few small general updates with modern discoveries
or new knowledge. Some are brand new articles that have
appeared nowhere else. The main ones of these are the
“Classic Deep-Sky and Double Stars” articles,
that include the cremè de la cremè of the
southern skies. I have also added a few northern ones just
to keep those readers happy. Bien, c’est la
ve!
This slow evolution has eventually created
these humble pages which are now in the fourth
incarnation. I do hope you enjoy my modest compilation!
If you have any comments (or problems) please
don’t hesitate to contact me.
