Mike Kerr was the Secretary and a past President of the ASNSW.
To many of you who attended the South Pacific Star Party, he was the owner of a 25 inch Dobsonian at Wiruna. In the current issue of Australian Sky & Telescope, where I describe sighting Sirius B for the first time, it was through that very telescope - courtesy of Mike. He was very willing to show people the universe through his telescope.
I am deeply saddened by the news. Mike was a shining light in the amateur community - a fine example of what was great about being a fellow club member or going to star parties.
