Bertrand Meigh Peek

Peek used an observatory at Solihull, Birmingham, England, from 1923 until 1947 to make a series of observations (with notes published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.)

[1] Among the targets of his observations was the planet Jupiter, and he served as British Astronomical Association Mars Section director (1930–1931) Saturn Section director (1934–1935), and Jupiter Section director (1934–1949).

From 1946 until 1955 he taught at Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, Canterbury, where he led the Astronomical Society.

He retired through ill health and died in 1965.
