Once again, I took paper to pen, and began a journey to explain the mysterious
and beautiful complexities of stars, galaxies, and the material that lies between
them. It was a journey that took many roads with many side-turnings as I
often spent many long, lonely hours worrying whether I was being too obtuse,
or at times patronizing. It is a fact that many amateur astronomers are very
knowledgeable of the subject that they pursue with a passion. However, the book
eventually came into sight, and this, for me a mammoth task, was completed.
You now hold it in your hands!
