Col Bembrick

CWAS, VSS, SASI

Astrophysical modelling of four southern contact eclipsing binaries, using Binary Maker 3.

Col became interested in amateur astronomy about 1957 - the Sputnik era. Over the years he has graduated from visual observing to photoelectric photometry; to CCD imaging for variable star observing.
Col trained as a Geologist, but has been fortunate to be able to use photometers at various professional observatories - including Mt Stromlo, Siding Spring and Black Birch in New Zealand.
