Further chapters describe Moore’s foreign travels and correspondence with those back home. He has also included personal recollections and humorous anecdotes from Moore’s friends and acquaintances, as well as a look at his best loved books. In this light, the author discusses the factors that caused Moore to switch from lunar observing to planetary and variable star observing. Moore recorded his telescopic observations in his logbooks, which are reproduced and described here in detail, along with his sketches and notes. The result of an exhaustive study of Sir Patrick Moore’s observations of the Moon and planets for more than 60 years, this book is a fantastic companion to the extremely popular, “It Came From Outer Space Wearing an RAF Blazer!” written by the same author.
