First "Skelligs Star Party" August 22nd/23rd 2014

Thanks Michael,

Finally got myself registered on here. Just thinking as well would any of the astronomy shops/websites be interested in posting this up? Anything that generates interest in astronomy would benefit them.

Just goes to show Dave
that an event like that in this
Country is long over due..
When you see articles like that
from the UK kinda makes me a bit
envious.

Cheers

If this goes ahead who would
be interested in setting up something
like that Astrophotocamp website??
I would give it a go but i know that their
are a lot more people out there with
far more experience than me in web design.

Yeah, but have a look at the detail, how he is doing this.

Booked a village hall and a field beside it to hold the event.
He is actively looking for speakers.

Dave I'm just waiting on Julie to
get back to me with more information
on the lay out of the land and so far
it looks like somewhere in ballinskellig
is our best option, they have a fine hostel
there that if we spoke with them I'm sure
they would give us a bit of a deal.
As for speakers!! I don't believe speakers are
necessary as it is an observing weekend not
a weekend of lectures.. After all we have that at the
likes of Cosmos and the Galway Astronomy Festival.

Maybe a few words could be spoken at the observing
site by a few of the organizers on the night sky and
what is most prominent in the night sky for the nights
we will be observing.

Cheers Roy
