Raise your glasses tonight to John Dobson who turns 97 today !

Our lives as ATMers and observers probably would not have been the same without him

He is a hero of amateur astronomy to be sure ... and our birthdays are just one day apart :-)
I celebrated mine on Saturday by taking out out recently resurrected 18" Dob for a club viewing night at a new site ...... Thank you Mr Dobson !
