Sad news to hear of the death of Patrick Moore.For anyone who has an interest in astronomy,like my self, it is sad news. May he rest in peace.

Met him back in 91 where I worked we had a private observatory in the grounds and an Astronomy club once a month would attend, Patrick attended a couple of times as Guest speaker and always got a rousing welcome..
Holds the world record for the longest running programme..
RIP Sir Patrick. Beside his great knowledge of all matters astronomical, he had a wonderful sense of humour too. His passing will leave a big void for those of us who enjoyed The Sky at Night.
