Len Adam holds a BSc degree from the University of Manchester. He has been a keen amateur astronomer for many years, using his backyard domed observatory in the UK and taking frequent trips with his truck full of equipment to observe in clear sky sites in southern Spain. He concentrates mainly on deep sky objects and has a particular interest in supernovae and star clusters. He has used remote telescopes in the USA, Europe and Australia to image nebulae, clusters, galaxies, supernovae and comets. He is the co-author (with J.R. Nowicki ) of one book, Digital Circuits, published by Edward Arnold (Butterworth-Heinemann) in 1990.
