Limerick Astronomy Club

It's nearly NLC time again would you believe... Just a heads up. :D The last few years activity has reduced so it'll be interesting to see how it goes this year. Keep up to date on my NLC Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/nlc.observers.group And of course our SAC FB page... Here's to a good sea...

Further reports count over 20 fireballs which is well above average for this.

No reports of any major activity.

Well it's just gone midnight and the sky is full of cloud as usual.
There is a chance of a break in the west before dawn.
I'll get up early for a peek.
Wouldn't want to miss any 'rare outburst' or that

A great night tonight lads. Well done! I've posted some pics that Dave & I took up on the SAC FB page. I'll Flikr them later. Watching peoples jaws drop never gets old!

Looks like it'll send in some high alt. haze.

What is the date for this years starparty?
I'm going to book the time off work.

Peter, if your around on Fri / Sat / Sun and can make it down to the GAM event on O Callaghans Strand I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say that someone would be able to take a look at that viewfinder for you.

Will try to get in if I can.

Peter, do you have link to an image of the setup?
Do you have a finder scope set up on it?
What mount is it? LXD75?

How's it been going lads?

Welcome aboard Peter.

Lookin good!!

I hope not!
Got home just before 6.
Saw that awesome moon rising.
Up then at 10 and on the road to Gallimh, just in the door now.
I'm surprisingly lucid considering.

Yes! It's totally clear.
The air looks stable. No jet stream. Little wind. No moon. Can't get better than this!
I was hoping Simon would come with the 10" I'd have loved a chance to use it tonight.
