Neil Bone

The Council of the FAS was very saddened to hear of the passing of Neil Bone, who was a leading light in the world of amateur astronomy societies.

Through his column in Astronomy Now, and his frequent talks to societies up and down the country (distance was no obstacle to Neil) he was a great supporter of the work done at grass-roots astronomy.

Neil was presented with the FAS's Eric Zuker award in 2005.

You can leave messages of condolences via the BAA Website, at this page .
