My main interest is variable stars - I look for outbursts of dwarf novae and conduct time-series CCD photometry when they go into outburst. I operate two video cameras to detect meteors - part of the NEMETODE network. I also regularly observe the Sun in H_alpha. I enjoy deep sky imaging and observing comets. Sometimes I simply like lying back in a deck chair and taking in the Milky Way with binoculars. When the weather is too bad for observing, I like to research the history of astronomy, especially some of the more interesting members of the BAA from years gone by. I am Director of the BAA Variable Star Section. It is my privilege to be the Vice President of the BAA, having served as President from 2015-2017. I am also the Association's Papers Secretary
