Thats no problem, weather doesn't look to good for Friday but we'll wait and see.

I moved here at Christmas from Swords so when I actually get off my back side to observe it has been wonderful some nights....no internationaly lit up airport on my doorstep now!
I have a 10" Meade lx50 and a Meade etx90 so south wicklow has made me dust them off.

I think Cloon (and the Kippure lighthouse) isnt a great location. Perhaps firther down towards djouce? or even further perhaps the carparks along sallygap or the wicklow gap at the old mines?

So what's the reckoning for tonight then?

It's already clouded over, and we know the rest that's due... :(

Guys,

You missed absolutely nothing. The activity was minimal at best. A real bummer.
