hey Gliese,
yip, this is nothing new when it comes to that event, some like it , some dont,
BTW, you dont want that skyscout so ?

There is a great thread on the astronomy forum on boards.ie about Dave Ltd....I mean AI

No disrespect to some of their members that post here. All ire is directed at el Presidente and him alone.

In fairness, I think a couple of 'inaccuracies' need correcting here. First the cost is not 50euro its 39euro. Secondly a professionally catered barbeque is included in that price. 3 talks are also included. As Dave L said, everyone to their own.

I started to read this post and I said to myself, someone having a go here fair enough. However having completed the full text, I just hung my head in despair

What a truly miserable so 'n so you are!

Ive been to loads of these and found thm great, kids found thm great too. Kids that are supervised dont get into situations where they knock over scopes. Ive also brought my own scope n have never had to pay to look through it.
