Such sad news. Terry was a leader in his field and a man who brought ccd image observing to the UK amateur astronomer world.I knew him for many years (1980’s onwards) via the BAA and TA. I bought and used SX cameras since Starlight Xpress was formed. I still have an SVFH9.Terry was always approachable and was able to advise and help wherever he could.He will be sorely missed by all who know him. Definitely a one off character never to be replaced or surpassed.
