Sad to see he's passed on today. For those of us inspired by his enthusiasm astronomy will never be the same

I watched "The Sky at Night " a couple of days ago and he didn't seem to well then.

I've just read your post, Beefsteak and I feel really upset to learn of the passing of Patrick Moore. To me, he was a true legend and I grew up watching 'The Sky At Night'. I would be engrossed with it's content although not always understanding it all. It was only a few days ago that I mentioned Patrick Moore in the 'Water's a bit high at Trent Bridge' thread, #23.

RIP Sir Patrick, can't say I ever understood much about astronomy, but he was certainly the biggest influence on so many people that did.

RIP Sir Patrick Moore. March 1923 - December 2012. His next programme was to be a lesson about use of telescopes; just what I needed too :(
