Andrew studied a Masters in Materials & Engineering Science at St John’s College, Oxford University and a MSc in Materials and Manufacturing Management at Sheffield Hallam University. 

He Worked for Tata Steel (formerly British Steel / Corus) for 13 years including 5yrs at Technical Manager of the Aldwarke Steelplant in Rotherham. He is now Technical Director of an Iron and a Steel Foundry in Derbyshire.

He got his first telescope last February, a 5” Newtonian which I only had for 6 weeks before upgrading to a 10” and now uses a 12” Dobsonian to visually observe deep sky objects as well as several smaller telescopes for astrophotography.

His main interest is space flight & astrophotography, particularly globular clusters.
