I founded the society in 2013, after studied Astronomy & Astrophysics to Masters Degree level. Fellowship member of the Royal Astronomical Society (UK) At a personal level, in 2013 I was accepted as a fellowship member with the Royal Astronomical Society. Astronomy has been a hobby/interest of mine for as long as I can remember. In early 2002, I purchased a larger telescope (the last one I owned was a 3" terrestrial refractor some 20 years ago) and from that day my stargazing is twice weekly. now I'm weather-watching and wishing for long, clear nights . In 2003, I decide to a take a further step and study towards a Master Degree with James Cook University , Queensland, Australia, (website: http://www.jcu.edu.au/). After a full three years studying I obtained a Master Degree in Astronomy, areas that I covered were both in astronomy and astrophysics, details below: Modern Astrophysics - mathematical understanding of astronomy related physics, Astronomy Instrumentation - reading, understanding and data analysis, The Solar System - from it creation present and it future, Galactic Astronomy and Cosmology - galaxies, and other cosmos’s bodies measurements, distance, and it composition, Pilot Research Project Study Gliese 876 Star Solar System and, Finally a Astronomy Literature Review of Gliese 876 of 50,000 words. I also belong to a few astronomy forums like Cloudy Sky, Stargazes, Astronomy Shed and a few other more. In more recent times I am very involved with Astrophotography.
