First light party Beara Observatory

Dear friends,

My observatory is nearing completion and I am planning the first light party.
The date has been set on September 8th.

I would like to invite all that are interested to inspect the obseravotory and its equipment to join. I know that Marrtin Eagle, Gratan Banister and Terry Moseley are keen to come and I would like to hear from all my friends that would like to come down and visit the beautiful Beara Peninsula.
If the weather does not co-operate (God forbid) there is a plan B in place that will be interesting and entertaining.
Also in place is a BBQ. So, please feel welcome to join us in and enjoy a view of the skies through the LX200GPS and Wiliam Optics 80mm ED.

For thos eof you from farther afield there will be a list of local B&B's available.

Please aid me in planning this event by letting me know of your plans to attend and with how many of you. I will then PM-ing you the local B&B list

I look forward to a lively Fist Light Party.

Regards
Jouke de Ruiter

Sounds like a great time will be had by all, it's my 15th wedding anniversary and a trip has already been planned.

I look forward to seeing photos of the completed observatory and possibly the party, if they're not too libellous

Pray for good weather, 'cause lately nothing else seems to be working. :roll:

Hi Paul,

Sorry to hear you can't make it. But I am sure you will have a nice weekend celebrating your wedding. Have fun!
Surely I will post pictures of both the observatory and the party.

Regards
Jouke

Jouke,
Many congrats on finishing the observatory!
Unfortunately, whilst I would love to go, I have a "minor appointment" (getting married) to my fiancee (Denise) in Rome in early September. However, best of luck with the observaotry and the first light party. Hoipefully the weather will co-operate.
Regards,

Congratulations on the forthcoming nuptials Michael, hope you and Denise have a long and happy life together.

Marriage is the best.

Paul

Cheers Paul, and many congrats to yourself & your wife.
