Burren StarParty 2016, weekend 1
BSP, this year we decided to run
2 weekends for the Burren Starparty in an attempt to increase the odds of having
a clear sky. However this weekend ended up been cloudy so no observing was done.
We still showed up at the Dolmen carpark in the hope and caught a few glimpses
of the Milkyway.
