About Philip Pugh
Philip Pugh describes himself as a boring person who sometimes does interesting things. From 2007 to 2011, he published four titles under Patrick Moore's "Practical Astronomy" series.
Despite the success of these books, he always wanted to write a beginner book and published "Being an Astronomer" in 2018, which is now on the third edition. He is now writing shorter pieces under the "Phil's Scribblings" series. The first one is "Astrophotography with a DSLR". Many of Phil's Scribblings were available on the now-defunct "Astronomy Wise" website.
Phil's writing history goes back to 1980 when he published a humorous piece in "Angling" magazine. Recently, he has had articles published in Best Binocular Review:

He is an active astronomer, with a special interest in the Sun and has a popular blog, known worldwide:

Despite having a small budget for astronomy and photography equipment, he has produced some interesting photographs:

Phil is married to Helga and they have one adult daughter, Marcela.
Although mostly known most recently for astronomy, Phil was once a competitive chess player, winning county junior championships and was a bridge master. His other claim to fame was being born exactly the same day as Bruce Willis.
