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.

Hi all
There is a meeting being held this night starting at 8.00.
If you are not familiar with the location, we can meet up at the Sugarloaf beforehand and then head down.
All welcome.

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for the notification. I'll do my best to make it down to Trooperstown. Let's hope the weather plays ball.
Clear skies,
Darren.

I have one question:
Are Jupiter, Saturn and Mars visible from Trooperstown?

Hi Michael.
Thank you for that super news.
You can count me in so.
As I'm not sure where the site is, can I meet someone at the Sugarloaf first please?
Thank you.
I can never observe these planets at the moment from my home.
Maybe Mars will be in a better position quite soon.
Clear skies from Aubrey.

Hi All,
I've just returned from Glendalough and as I was leaving the sky looked like it was clearing nicely for tonight's session. Hopefully, it will remain clear for us. Of course, if tonight's session is pushed out to a later date you can count me in.
Clear skies,
Darren.

With lockdown coming into effect at midnight, we are prohibited from leaving Dublin. Tonight was our last opportunity for a couple of weeks.

I've suggested the car-park of the Blue Light to Ben as an alternate venue.

Thank you, Michael.
You have made the right decision.
If anyone wishes to have a look at a satellite image, please check Zoom Earth.
The clouds are coming from England right now.
We can go observing another time.
Best regards from Aubrey.

Zoom Earth shows cloud, my eyes show crystal clear skies. I'm heading out to the back garden.
