ABOUT THESE SOUTHERN PAGES
For almost thirty-eight years I have been
interested in astronomy, and after years of
contemplating, I 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
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.
