Hugh Allen

Located in Oakhill, Somerset and willing to travel up to 100 miles of Oakhill.

CV Summary:

I am an industrial chemist with a lifelong interest in space science and technology.

Since graduating from Cambridge University, I have spent my entire career in printing ink formulation. My wife bought me a telescope in 2008 and so ignited a different passion. I have since specialised in spectroscopy which I strongly believe should be more widely practised by amateurs. I am an experienced speaker and I love communicating my passion. I am heavily involved in my local amateur community, Wells & Mendip Astronomers and the William Herschel Society in Bath as well as a member of the BAA.
