Thats really very sad news. Scott was a quiet achiever and dedicated deep sky observer and sketcher, and regular contributer to the journal UNIVERSE who really lived the life dictated by his love of the stars - spending every new moon at the Wiruna dark sky site belonging to ASNSW, and always working on new improvements at the property . I used to see him a lot when I attended those weekends regularly. He was always a gentleman -quietly spoken and thoughtful but quick witted. He is very much loved by the ASNSW core , who are still hurting from the loss of another valued friend and Wiruna regular Mike Kerr at similarly much too young age. Unfortunately Scott couldn't attend the last SPSP so I missed out on talking to him and observing with his 22" scope which I had the pleasure of making the optics for years ago.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to Scott's family and friends.
