I recently acquired a copy of The Backyard Astronomer's Guide (3rd Edition) and noticed what I believe is a picture of the late Dave Tosteson with his 32". It was fun to see him in such a distinguished and well-known book.

Here's another photo of Dave Tosteson (at left end) at the Texas Star Party in May 2019.  To Dave's right in the photo is Larry Mitchell, myself, Tim Parson, Jimi Lowrey, Bill Christian (photobomb), Barbara Wilson (who passed away later that year), and Amelia Goldberg (sitting).  The lineup includes several recipients of the Texas Star Party Lone Star Gazer award.

In this Summer's issue of Amateur Astronomy magazine (Issue 127), there are two remembrances of Dave with many nice images.
