1302.6910 (Costantino Sigismondi)

Pawel Max Maksym (1983-2013) Polish Astronomer and Film-maker    [PDF]

Costantino Sigismondi
The sudden and untimely death of Pawel Max Maksym will not diminish his contributions to the field of occultation astronomy, and to Polish society in general. Founder of the Pope Silvester II Observatory in Bukowiec, he was also writing a book to introduce children to astronomy. Graduating in Geography with an experimental thesis in Lunar Occultations at Lodz University, Pawel earned a diploma from the prestigious National Film School in Lodz. An expert observer, he mastered the technique of stellar occultations, fostering the scientific activity of the Observatory. A review of his publications in Minor Planet Circulars and on YouTube is presented here.
