The IFAS Observing Challenges programme

I think Shane has been a little modest with regard to his role in all this.

I think Michael has been a little generous with regard to my role in all this! If I was such a good salesman, how come no-one bought the three of ye!

Any feedback from anyone out there would be appreciated, preferably negative I suppose so we can make any improvements. As well, if anyone has any suggestions regarding what handbooks/challenges to do next we'd appreciate it.

Here's a link to an updated version of the Messier Handbook based on feedback we received. This is a large pdf file of over 4MB!

Excuse the terrible looking site! It was rushed together in approx 5secs! I put it together simply so that I could link to the file and save bandwidth here!

Some spelling and grammatical errors have been rectified. However, the biggest change is in the style of the log pages. These log pages have been reduced in size and the format slightly improved to allow a more economical print for those who wish to download it. Some of the charts have also been updated.
As always, it's free to download and print for personal use. I'd greatly appreciate if people could provide any suggestions on how the handbook could be improved in the future.

Clear skies,

It appears the site above will only allow a limited number of downloads per hour. If you can't download it, e-mail me at
michaeloconnell78 at(@) yahoo.co.uk
and i'll forward you on a copy. Hopefully, I'll have something more organised in the next day or so.

Clrar skies,

Thanks Al.
BTW, where are the other handbooks stored nowadays? Are they on the ucd server as well?

I keep a copy of them in UCD, but the ones that are linked from the site are in Maynooth.
