*** Solarfest 2013 - Dunsink - June 29th *** was created by michaeloconnell
Following on from the success over the last number of years, IFAS in conjunction with Dunsink Observatory (DIAS) Astronomy & Astrophysics Group www.dias.ie are co-hosting a one-day event in Dublin to celebrate solar astronomy. Solarfest 2013 will take place on Saturday 29th June at Dunsink Observatory, Dublin.

Aside from the continued support from Dunsink Observatory (DIAS) Astronomy & Astrophysics Group, we are also very grateful to Trinity College Dublin Astrophysics Research Group www.tcd.ie/Physics/Astrophysics/ and Dublin City University www.dcu.ie/ for helping make this event happen.
Entry to the event is FREE.

The programme for the event is current being finalised and will be updated here in due course. However, the event will feature a number of lectures, solar observing (weather permitting) and more. The lunchtime break will allow an opportunity to take in a tour of the facility to see the observatory and the 12" Grubb refractor. While tea/coffee will be provided, please bring along your own packed lunch.

Spaces are limited to 60 seats. If you are interested in securing a seat, please send an e-mail to ifas.solarfest@gmail.com
Please state in the e-mail how many seats you require.
If you wish to just attend the lunch/solar observing/observatory tour, that's no problem. However, please drop an e-mail to the above address so that we know what numbers to expect.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards & Thanks,

Michael O'Connell
