Patrick and his telescopes, an at home interview on CD

Patrick was born on 4 March 1923 in what was then the little Middlesex village of Pinner. At the age of six months he and his parents moved to Sussex where he has lived ever since. Between the ages of six and sixteen Patrick was ill, on and off, and this prevented him from attending school and so was mostly educated at home.

During this time he picked up his mother's copy of 'The Story of the Solar System' which sparked his lifelong passion. Since then, he has concentrated upon studies of the Moon. In 1959, the Russians used his charts to correlate the first Lunik 3 pictures of the far side of the Moon and he was involved in the lunar mapping before the NASA Apollo missions.

This CD for the first time captures Patrick at home at farthings discussing his telescopes and how he used them as the most famous amateur Astronomer we have all come to love.

£9.99 plus £1.99 postage.
