Very sad

Hi All,

Yes Brian's death is a very sad day for amateurs and professionals alike. As someone else commented on facebook, it was always a dream of mine that one day an IAU circular penned by Brian would be issued announcing something I'd observed or discovered.

A true gentleman to boot. Astronomy is somewhat poorer without him.


Best,

Les D
