Sandymount? was created by tomcosgrave
Have to say it's not looking too good for tonight. Was gonna go along and see Mars and chat to folks about scopes and stuff, but the weather looks to be unco-operative.

Might go along if it clears a bit. I hope tomorrow night is better!

Anyone else going along?

I was going to drop by but unfortunately I'm still at work.

I'll be driving home that way (If I ever get out of here tonight!) but wont have a scope with me.

Cheers,

Pretty crap isn't it :-/

How do you organise a public star party when the weather is so awful?
Luck? :-)

Well, it's looking clear at the moment (North Dublin) so it should be same at Sandymount. All things being well, I'll see some of you later.
I'm driving a silver Ford Focus hatchback and will be bearing a thick polo neck sweater :-)

If you recognise me, say hi!

Had a great time last night!
Nice to meet you Albert, and thanks to John for bringing out his 10" Dob.
