I was speaking with Will Gater and let him know we had planed a trip to Kerry for the dark skies.
He sent me the below as a guide for things to see in the southern part of the milky way.
Enjoy !
Hi Dave
Yeah, here you go - I've labelled one of my recent Milky Way shots for you with some of my favourite objects in that region. The Lagoon from dark skies is very special (as are most of the objects I've labelled to be honest). The Pipe Nebula (a huge dark nebula) is a nice one to tick off from a dark-sky site too.
All the best,
Will

By the way, I saw something on TV last night that reminded me of another item worth seeing - the petrified forest uncovered by the storms earlier this year (close to / between Ballinskelligs and Waterville).

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Just got the six o'clock news, the weather report for Saturday night is not promising, they are predicting heavy rain spreading across the country in the early evening. Still, weather forecasters are as accurate as economists and it will probably turn out to be clear.

Ye shower of negative nannies..
We'll have a Craic come Hell or High water..
Accuweather once told me it was raining NOW
at my location... Couldn't be more wrong as I had the scope
pointed at some of the clearest skies that year..
So the best weather forecast is a window and look out.
Cheers Roy
