Saturn images

I have often wondered about comments from various people that I have seen on TV about the feeling of "living a dream", I really am living my dream of being able to make a contribution to science as a broken down ex mine worker living in the middle of nowhere.

Hi Greg,
34 years working in very heavy industry, often in confined spaces does nothing for your body. It catches up eventually. I have problems with my neck, knees and right ankle. But my major problem is the condition of my lower back. I have disc's sticking out the left side of my spine, my CAT scans look just great.

Astronomy helps me greatly. When I finished on the mines and started my degree I just immersed myself in it, ignoring everything else, I still do. I find that while I am so involved in what I am doing I feel better about myself and have less time to worry about the bits that don't work so well any more.

You could say I use astronomy for pain relief.

Regards
Trevor

Thank you again Trevor,
I apologise if it seemed that I was seeking a medical history, my query was made in an effort to suggest that whatever your physical state it is not restricting you in your achievements. Well done.

Regards,

Greg.

P.S. If our x-rays were ever confused the diagnoses would be similar and I would hazard a guess that your hands would look a bit like mine as well.

A "couple" of Saturns?

Either you need to do some serious collimation or the eyesight is starting to go too!

Top stuff Trev! a big high five to that!!

Next time the media get in your ear, make sure to let it slip that your work (and the "work" of all us other amature astronomers) is greatly hampered by local light pollution... street lights are unnecessary as are every light being on in the city when NOBODY is there....

It would be a big help to you and us if they switched off after say.. 9pm...

Just a heads-up for anyone in WA(that aren't at work ), the TTN program on ch10 is about to show a story about Trevor in the next few mins(TTN is on now).
Sorry to those in the eastern states, would have warned you two hours ago if I had a time-machine!
That is, I will warn you yesterday to set your VCR's to record it if your at work today and someone lends me a time machine.
