Limerick Astronomy Club

Looks clear now although theres a front slowly coming from the west. Hopefully we'll a few clear hours tonight. I'll see ye down there at 8.30

I hope you get years of observing out of it Roy.
Although on past performance, i think we should start a pool on when you're going to make your next upgrade.

I've no problem with you borrowing the collimator, if more club members had a need to borrow kit it would be a good thing.

Roy is stepping down as PRO and IFAS rep due to personal reasons. On behalf of the club and committee i'd like to thank him for all the work he has done for SAC in the past and hopefully in the future he will be able to contribute just as much.

Great catch Dave.
What was the view like through the club binos?

I'm not going Tom.

The saturday morning session is sold out already. I guess thats the celebrity draw of Brian Cox.

The conference details are at http://europeanastrofest.com

Three little words Roy: Dark Knight Rises

Nice one Roy!

Gotta love the one with the aeroplane flying through leo.

Its a great site to go window shopping on. Their scopes get good reviews too:

Don't forget to put up the photo of you and Mr Nagler.

Remember those leaflets that the Baker st. astronomy people had at astrofest? Did you bring one home with you?

They were snazzy leaflets about their club, it would be nice to have something like that to hand out at the GAM event.

Its excellent i'd say, and leaves you with loads of money to spend at astrofest itself.

We could try and convince them its an early valentines day thing...

Cool photos Dave, pity about jupiter. Did ye try and hunt down any of the lunar 100 on the night?

I have a motherboard (abit bp-6) that should do the job for you, it has 768 megs of ram and 2 500mhz celerons. (I think those are the specs, its in the attic somewhere). I'm sure you have an old psu and case lying around.

Those match nights produce a lot of of foot traffic on o'callaghan strand...
