    Frank Knight (NFH Knight) was an enthusiastic observer of variable stars in the pre and post WW2 era, then again in the 1980s. He was an independent discoverer of the 1946 of T CrB. He received the BAA Steavenson Award in 1985. He lived near Epsom, Surrey.

    It’s 20 years since his death and there was no obituary.

    Might anyone have any personal recollections of him?
