Simon. Will you be going? Will you be bringing the 10"?

Yes yes yes!
I'm off tonight.
If ye want to go in convoy I can be waiting on the slip road outside my house at 8:30.

(So excited its not even funny)

It's pure luck getting the opportunity to see it. I just so happened to be on the right shift pattern this week and to be on the motorway every evening at sunset so I had at least some chance of coming across a gap in the clouds. Well, I got another opportunity to see / photograph this comet tonight...

Lol. Pulled off the motorway into The Clare Inn on the way home from work that night as there was lucky break in the clouds.

Nice one Roy. Best of luck with the new scope!

Bloody hell was it faint or what!? Stuck up at work so I couldn't get down in time to hunt with the club at the carpark (nice spot BTW Dave) I did manage to find a grand Spot a min from our office that has spectacular views to the west over Galway city and the bay. I was just going to pack it in aft...

Well said Simon. I think the public liability insurance cover ends at someone tripping over a telescope. :P Regarding the site the rugby grounds in Coonagh sounds good. I was actually driving past there today and was thinking that somewhere down there would be better than the carpark funnily enough....
