| About Rod Mollise |
"Uncle" Rod Mollise is familiar to readers as the author of numerous books and magazine articles on every aspect of amateur astronomy. He is probably most well-known, however, for his book on SCTs, Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope (Springer), which has become the standard reference for these popular instruments. Look for his forthcoming book, The Urban Astronomer's Handbook, to be published in early 2006 (also by Springer). In the mean time, Rod's writing can be found in Sky Publishing's Night Sky magazine, Tom Clark's Amateur Astronomy Magazine, and on numerous online forums and websites, including Rod's Astro Land at http://skywatch.brainiac.com/astroland/index.htm.
Rod is an engineer by profession, working for Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, but also finds time to teach astronomy to undergraduates at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. When he's not on the road attending and speaking at star parties, Rod shares a rambling old Victorian home in Mobile's Garden District with his wife Dorothy, three cats and, at last count, eleven telescopes. |
