Regarding Tullamore, are we talking about the Tullamore observatory site??


We are Dave! Its about 2 miles from the town, so we do get good dark southern skies. I'll show you all at Cosmos if ye all come...

Seanie,
I'd love to have a peak at this observatory.
I was going to cosmos anyway, but this is a nice bonus!

but what a way to go. :)

Cheers Dave! Now you have forced us to clean it and paint it for you... only kidding!

We are in the process of trying to get the few leaks in the dome fixed. One member, the elusive-as-Mercury Bob Campbell, has a winch system to put into it so that 1 person can operate the dome. Bear in mind, this is NOT on a par with the observatory in Galway! But at least its there!
