Meeting : 10 January 2008

 

 

 

Mike Maunder is a veteran traveller. He has seen much of the world, and has visited many observatories – both ancient and modern – in Britain, Europe, Africa, Russia, China, Malaysia, Australia, Antarctica, South America and North America. For many years he applied his skills as an industrial chemist to the development of photographic emulsions, and he has a considerable reputation as an astrophotographer. He has also observed numerous total solar eclipses, and during the 1999 eclipse the shadow of the Moon conveniently passed over his home on Alderney, in the Channel Islands.
