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.

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
