Resum

Josep Pratdesaba i Portabella (Vic, 1870 -1967) is a paradigmatic example of the amateur astronomer, who without too many links with the academic world, is capable of developing an important scientific activity. From his own astronomical observatory, he made significant contributions to the study of the planets and the Moon. He was a disciplined weather observer, studying the weather singularity of his home region of Osona. He was also a writer of popular science, he was author of near 200 articles in newspapers and magazines.
