Observing session, Shannonside, 8th June

Hi All,
The club is going to have an observing session near Boher (usual place, not too far from Limerick). If you're interest, do come along.
If this is your first time, then send me a PM/email and I can give you directions.
We plan to meet at the pub car park in the centre of Boher at 8pm.
We'll have a good selection of scopes to look through.
The reason for going so early, is that it gives us plenty of time to setup and catch Mercury before it sets.
Of, courser it all depends on the weather, but it is looking good.

Mercury with the 20'' Dave!?
Have you seen / are you excited!

With the 20", no not yet, am I excited?, you bet ya.
I'll be bringing the Obsessionator (new name for it) up to the hill tomorrow night, along with a few sandwiches and a flask.

Given the sky this time of year, I think its going to be a long night as I intend going as long as the sky is reasonably dark, so I think that at 3am it will be getting too bright, maybe :lol:

Dave my firend..
I am lookin gout my window right now
at 01:05 and it's STILL not dark enough!!!!

This all nighter is gonna be a cakewalk in comparison to the last one!!

I'd be surprised if the usual bunch don't show up, I know its gonna be hard with a a bright sky, but there should be a small amount of time of usable darkish sky for looking at some objects.
People can come and go as they please, if they don't want to come along until midnight then that's fine, if they want to leave at 11, then that's ok also.

Well have an ISS pass over at 2 times, and good ones at the, here are the details
