Many thanks for all your concerns folks but the illness is not me but my wife. Clare has been diagnosed with Bladder Cancer and is undergoing treatment. Whilst it is not life threatening, it does make one redefine their priorities in life. Sirius Optics will continue to provide the best service that I can and the best advice we can. Peter Marples is still working here and I have also employed Greg Bock (both from SAS) so between all of us, there is a wealth of knowledge available and none of us has a cosmology degree but plenty of practical experience.
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Ron (Sirius Optics)
