Description: From a backyard observatory in the remote mining town of Broken Hill, Trevor Barry has become one of the world's most respected amateur astronomers, capturing images of Saturn and Jupiter that rival those of professional facilities. This book explores his journey, his instruments and techniques, and his remarkable contributions to planetary imaging, variable star observation, and deep sky research. Along the way, it examines his collaborations with professional astronomers and situates his work within Australia's rich tradition of amateur skywatching. A compelling portrait of dedication, dark skies, and the enduring power of citizen science.
