Limerick Astronomy Club

Hi Conn, the next meeting or observing sessing would be great, I couldn't do much with it at the moment with the horrible weather we are having!

Thats great Dave, I saw them new online & you got a good bargain at that price.

Wow haha! Count me in anyway! Might bring along my sis to give her an idea of what the sessions are like

Hi Conn, if it's 100% ok with you, that would be brilliant, well appreciated. @ Frank, I actually got an led energizer thing yesterday, it has a red led, but the problem is this, when you turn it on, the white leds come on, then you have to press it to put on the red. Everytime I want to put on the ...

Hi Conn, you were there last Friday, werent you? Yeah, want to get a barlow but the one Dave suggested on astromart is gone, i mailed the seller and he said it was no longer for sale.

Hi Frank, I do have a small halogen torch around so I'll root for it & bring it to the next meeting, curious to see this now. John, thanks for those suggestions, will see if i can pick one up today

Hey guys, I have to say I really enjoyed the observing session last night, was absolutely fantastic, I'd have been up for an all nighter but I depend on a lift in and out, the highlights were the obvious Saturn, but the Orion nebula blew me away, as did the globular cluster Dave showed me through hi...

Wow, lovely. I took a few shots but they turned out awful.

Great picture, well done! Mars is beautiful at the moment, if only the damn weather would clear up!!!

Wow, thats brill, I was out in the garden from 10:30pm onwards and saw about 8 the hour I was out, they were pretty obvious even in the city center, but it was one of the worse skies I have ever seen here, when the fog crept in, the sky developed a horrible orange hue, and after a while completely c...

Great information there, very useful & helpful, thank you. How do I go about joining the club? I'm very interested in it.

Plossl eyepieces, are they any good? Down the line I'll get a new eyepiece, will need recommendations though. Saw 4 meteors inbetween 8-9pm too.
