Steven Tingay page - a stub; page is below. Needs expanded lead and biographical info, as well as published works, etc. Also some reference to his public education role (see Perth Observatory, Curtin astronomy nights, MALA etc). Email him re these? Ask him if he's got any links to Astrofest or Perth Observatory talks he's done. Also ask for a current photo.
