Presentation
‘Selenophile or Lunatic? Thirty Years of Observing and Loving the Moon’
Brief/Bio :
Randy Enkin avidly followed the Apollo missions from when he was 8 years old, and had decided he would grow up to be an astronomer. With life’s turns, he ended up being an Earth Scientist working for the Geological Survey of Canada. But the moon always attracted his attention and he is now more than 30 years into a lunar observation time series.
For 6 years, Randy has been posting an artistic image of the moon every day on https://www.facebook.com/EnkinsDailyMoon and https://www.instagram.com/enkinsdailymoon/.
Randy is often out with his telescope in the middle of the night sketching the moon, and he recently received the Isabel Williamson Lunar Observing Program certificate. He is president of the Victoria Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
