I was thinking that also.
North West tip facing South East.
I was at this cove a few years back. If I was setting up a shot I'd be doing it here.

Re: An ALMOST solar eclipse, 20th March 2015
Ya you'd want to do that all right. Stay somewhere near the observing site.
Was looking around in Google Earth and Stellarium, we need obviously a good SE horizon as far N as possible.

Re: solar activity
cheers for the heads up Dave.

Decent SW is tough!
The car park on the hill in Lahinch is SW facing.

Moon Occults Saturn Oct 25th 2014
Hi all. I took a look at Stellarium for this one and if the weather is good it will be a challenging but very rewarding observation! We had a lovely occultation of Venus a few years back which we observed from the Burren you may recall. http://frankryanjrastrophotography.weebly.com/uploads/7/9/5/3/7...

You've sold me the value of going to the North for the gain in time for this one.
I think it's a good idea and also a good idea to see what other members think.
