Nice work Sherlock!

This link might be handy to anyone not familiar with Leslie Peltier:
http://www.aavso.org/leslie-peltier-...eur-astronomer

Here's a quote from the article:

" "The world's greatest non-professional astronomer."
That is what Harlow Shapley called Leslie Peltier. If that is true, then why don't more people know about Peltier? I think the simple truth is he was a very private, soft-spoken man, who never sought the limelight and would have been embarrassed by all the attention he gets nowadays."

Cheers -
