Paul Fellows – a fellow of the Astronomical Society – top guest on board

Paul Fellows is a co-presenter of the public open evenings at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge. The standard of guest speakers at sea is high, and with a little research, you can see them on land. Paul Fellows is an engaging speaker who knows his subject – Astronomy. The Sky! And the wonder of the sky is at best in the middle of the ocean, especially if the captain invites you to lay on the topmost deck and he switches all the ship’s lights out.

On land, Paul gives weekly public sky tours and lecture presentations throughout the year with audiences of 200 plus. He built his first 8” Newtonian telescope at the age of 14 in 1975 as the project for “o-level” astronomy before coming to Cambridge as an undergraduate to study Natural Science and then completing his second degree in Computer Science at the Computer Lab in Cambridge.

On board ship with the aid of the multimedia stage he gives a planetarium style presentation of what is visible in the night sky the week of the cruise. He shows you how to find you way round the constellations, identify the tightest stars and follow the movements of the planets. He also shows hidden treasures such as galaxies and nebulae.

Paul is a very approachable man and is normally in great demand after his talks finish.
