The Moon─a talk by Peter Lloyd
I will talk about the value of amateur observations and photographs in appreciating the history of the Moon and its surface features.  I will look at some of our knowledge from an historical perspective to see how our modern understanding developed.


About the speaker: Peter Lloyd

Peter was born south of London just before the outbreak of the second world war, graduated with degrees in Natural Sciences from Oxford, and finally retired as a systems engineer in 2003.  He has been interested in Astronomy ever since he was a child, and got into astrophotography at the time the webcams appeared.  He joined the Doncaster Astronomical Society when he moved to Yorkshire about 5 years ago and is now their General Secretary
