Martin joined the York Astronomical Society in 1973 and has gone down hill ever since. Not one to take ‘no’ or ‘can’t’ for an answer but bone idle by nature he loves to stir things up.
Martin believes that telescope makers are a cartel who only want your money. ‘Fight back!’ he says. Build or restore your own telescope and have fun! Having worked in optics since he started his apprenticeship at Vickers Instruments (Formerly Thomas Cooke and Sons) in 1975, he brings ideas, anecdotes and a splash of humour to his talk.
