TAS barbeque a success.

Here are the observatory coordinates if you want to plug them into heavens above for future.

N 53° 14' 58.8"
W 007° 29' 02.8"

Al,
you can't remember the elevation of the observatory from that toy of yours?

nope, sorry. You should be able to get with 10m from the OS map of the area. For satellite passes etc. the altitude doesnt affect the timing unless you are very high up.

By the way folks, 3 papers printed the article this week, so coverage of our Perseids Observing and barbeque down here is good.

So far, the only picture one of them printed (Offaly Independent) is of Shane Culleton looking through his Meade 8" - congratulations Shane, you're the new face of TAS!

<AI content ... saftey warning >

Seems the AI event in Roundwood wasnt as succesful "it then started to cloud over and stayed like that for the rest of the night." Should have gone to Tullamore!

Aso the image of people in the hall on the webpage is dated "26-Aug-2003 15:29", so either thats the crowd from Mars last year or the clock on the AI server is a bit out

Still I think TAS can learn something from this event :"We were supplied with quality sausages by Olhausen and I think everyone will agree that they were gorgeous. Brennan's bread sponsored the tasty burger buns and rolls"

So less of the "bring your own food" next time Seanie

That is a very good idea Al, I'm sure Olhausen and Brennans won't mind the free advertising either! Sure, maybe we'll invite them out next time as well...

Hey Al,
I've just had a look there now, and the photo is now dated today. Is it the same photo you saw last week?
