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

Managed to see a fair few meteor

s including a big fireball through the Summer Triangle last night even through the fog and realised it was the peak of the Aurigids.

I also happened to notice this and will be calling down early to Skelligs next year for sure! : )

Hi all,

Looking forward to coming down again next year. Have booked 4 nights from the Wednesday to take in the Perseids peak. Under those Kerry skies, will hopefully be a spectacular sight

Think I might head down on the
Thursday myself to catch the peak.

Cheers Roy

Plan to do the same. Think its a chance not to be missed if weather is playing ball.

Society for Popular Astronomy have the peak at 06:00 on the 13th, so the nights of the 12th and 13th will be good (weather permitting!)

Stay another night, that is so tempting. Have to agree, the Perseids under such dark skies should be spectacular, this year there were so many meteors spotted, that under a major shower they should be blinding. The only question you will have to ask yourself is do you observe the Perseids or deep-sky? What a choice!
