Skelligs Star Party 2015, August 14th to 16th Ballinskelligs

Hey folks,

Was just thinking, especially from the people who were there last year, is there anything you can think of that people might want to bring? Something that you didnt think of last year and thought "i really wish i had brought one of those". Could be anything from astro-gear to wellies or whatever.

Thanks, Sean

Hi Sean

Write up a list a couple of days beforehand and add to it as you remember something else, check it off as you load up.
Don't forget your coat and possibly a wool hat and if your gear needs batteries bring extras.
Check all your gear works a day or so before hand, last year my mount wasn't working when I set it up and the scope was useless.
Look forward to seeing you.
As it's your first time at SSP don't let Roy bully you, just punch him in the nose and he'll leave you alone.

FOR THE ATTENTION OF ALL ATTENDING

Talks on the 15th August at Cable OLearys Ballinskelligs begin at 12 noon and will finish up before 5pm. Lunch will be available on the day payable locally. We have an exciting program and details of which will be posted on line next week. We also have a few surprises we are keeping a lid on for now.

Cheers Roy

Haha, thanks for the advice. Poor Roy

Yeah, looking forward to seeing you again- we met once at sugarloaf a good while back now (think we spent most of the night looking at ursa major and talking about ET life)

I'll check secondary mirror before i go but with my dob, not much point going near primary till i get there- it'll probably be miles out!!!

Sean

Sounds brill Roy. Great work again
