amatcur astronomy. The most
recent, The Guide to Amateur
Astronomy, was published in 1988
by Cambridge University Press.

In the book, written with fellow
amateur astronomer Philip Teece,
he shares experience gleaned over
three decades of observing and
photographing space.

Newton combined an existing
interest in photography with a new
hobby, astronomy, after he received
a smal] telescope for Christmas
when he was 12 years old.

“1 moved straight into astro-
photography, mainly because my
friends at school wouldn’t believe
what I claimed to see in the
telescope,” he explained in a press
release.

A newspaper route helped him
pay for his first pieces of equip-
ment.

At 23 he made his first tele-
scope, measuring 25 cm. A decade
later he built a 40-cm telescope,
followed by a 50-cm telescope.

Just over a year ago he finished
his most recent telescope, a 63-cm
reflector mounted on a trailer.

“The views through it are abso-
lutely incredible,” he says. “I can
see the spiral arms in many galax-
ies.”

Much of his equipment is home-
made. Often he will get home from
his job as a department store
manager, observe all night if the
weather is clear, go to work the
next day and sleep the following
evening.

“I can be dead tired after
observing but what it does to you
psychologically is indescribable.

His work has earned him a
Silver Jubilee Medal from Queen
Elizabeth, the Amateur Achieve-
ment Award of the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific and the
Chant Medal of the Royal Astrono-
mical Society of Canada.

He has worked with the Domin-
ion Astrophysical Observatory and
the University of Victoria. In
Hawaii, the University of Hawaii
allowed him two nights observing
through its 60 cm telescope on
Mauna Kea.

“AS soon as I see a still, dark
night developing, my heart starts
pounding and I start thinking,
Wow, another night to get out and
search the universe,’ Newton says.

Tomorrow night he will share
some of his discoveries at the
Central Saanich library,
