Limerick Astronomy Club

Its a pity they don't give a preview of the pictures that are included in the calender.
They've done that the last few years.

I had a similar experience to you Conn. Took a day off and had the scope setup in the back yard to catch as much of the transit as possible.

Tuesday looks to a be no-go. Tony's Star of Bethlehem talk has been moved to the Tuesday night now.

I'm sure you all mean Thursday the 17th, (i'll be at star wars that night).

Tuesday the 22nd works for me, how about everyone else?

At the last club meeting we mentioned the possibility of going for christmas drinks.
Is there any interest in doing this and what dates would suit people?

Did you see anything Tom?

I know Dave was in Lough Gur, don't know how he got on, though.

Very nice Conn.

The mountain range in the second last pic really stands out.

Thanks Dave,
I forgot to take notes at your talk last week

Very nice Dave. I assume you used your thousand oaks filter to take this?

I'm not. I've work tomorrow.

Cool.
Shea was saying that we got a mention in the Daily Mail on the 21st after the eclipse as well.

I was in easons today and I flicked through the AI magazine, saw a photo of the lough gur science advisory council, including yourself Frank.

It was on the rte.ie website as well. I think they took the list from the IFAS site.

How did the observing go?

It was pretty cloudy out in raheen.

I'll be talking to Clare FM about the eclipse at 9:45 on thursday morning, if anyone wants to be entertained.
