Irish Astronomical Society October Talk

Gosh this is going up a bit late, what with Gonzaga, the Whirlwind of Whirlpool and lots of other factors Anyway I hope you will come along and support Michael's talk in Dunsink Observatory.

If you have not been to Dunsink before it is a lovely venue, we have the added advantage of using the Grubb later if the evening is clear.

I may run Cosmic Collisions a movie about the formation of the Moon, the powerful events on the surface of Sun, and the many cosmic collisions that keep our universe ticking over. ( Depends on the conditions, so this will be decided on the night)

Hope to see you all there:-)

Dunsink really is a wonderful venue for these talks, with the bonus of a chance to view through the historic 12" refractor if the sky remains clear (and according to Metcheck, the forecast is not too bad).
So come along, all are welcome.

Don't Forget 8PM this evening!!

I was hoping to make it, but things got in the way, so all I can say is good luck tonight, I hope the sky stays clear for viewing through the big scope.

I'm planning on being there... if I can find Dunsink! (I got lost on the M50 last time)

Can anyone tell me which exit to take off the M50 if I'm coming from Bray?

Do I go through the toll bridge or is the turn-off before that?

Thanks,

Phil.

PS - you can call or text me on 087 418 4374, but I'll check the email again at 7.30 before I jump in the car and trust to blind luck (no map!)

Get off at Blanchardstown after the toll bridge, turn right, next roundabout turn left and follow the road until you can go no further.
