Peter Sayers
.


Peter Sayers has a life long interest in astronomy and has been an active amateur astronomer since the late 80's. His activities include astrophotography, astronomical computing, and observing both solar system and deep sky objects. He is a member of the Astronomical Society of Tasmania.
Peter started observing with a 60mm Tasco refractor on a simple altazimuth mount. He then upgraded to a 114mm Newtonian reflector on an equatorial mount. He now routinely observes with a 200mm Vixen Cassegrain telescope, a 250mm Meade Dobsonian and a 150mm achromatic refractor.
Peter is endeavouring to improve his astrophotography, have more time for telescopic observing, wants to build an observatory and somehow fit in more astronomical computing.
