Bio
I am an Amateur Astronomer who observes variable stars. My first observation on a variable star was in May 1993. On June 8, 2002, my 9th year of observing, I recorded 100,000 visual observations of variable stars being the first Australian observer to do so.
On January 24, 2012, I made my 200,000th variable star observation which was achieved in 18 years and 8 months. I believe only the seventh person in the world to reach this milestone.
October 9, 2015, my 250,000th visual variable star observation was recorded! This has taken 22 years and 10 months.
October 6, 2018, a special observation was made on the star AR Pav which was my 300,000th visual variable star observation. Officially the fourth person to reach 300K in variable star astronomy. This milestone has been achieved in 25 years and 5 months with an annual average of 11,800 observations per year.
On June 28, 2021, I recorded my 350,000th visual variable star observation. Achieved in 28 years and one month.
