About Keith Townsend

I am an amateur astronomer, astronomical imager and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. I have been presenting astronomical themed talks for the last 10 years (as of 2021) and deliver a range of talks to a wide variety of groups and organisations, from Astronomical Societies, WI groups, U3A and Rotary, as well as public outreach and university associations. My talks can be viewed at www.astronomymatters.co.uk Since the advent of Covid19 I have also been presenting via Zoom and remain happy to do this.
