TMB
I am back in Rome now and at the College's premises. Tonight (just before 10.00 p.m.) while browsing through the astronomy websites, I chanced upon this little eulogy piece on Thomas M Back who passed away recently on September 13th. 
He was the creator of his own line of telescopes and optics (TMB Optics) that revolutionized the amateur astronomy field. All that was because of his passion to get as close as possible to God's creation and universe. Yes, in the interview for the Cloudy Night website, done on November 2006, Tom said, "Don't worry about what telescope you own, or its quality. Just get out under the night sky, and enjoy God's wondrous universe."
I couldn't agree with him more and I know that he is with God, enjoying the wondrous view which he couldn't always get them from down here! Enjoy the front seat view, Tom!
