Catch a Star Competition

This beautiful water colour painting of a nebula has won a prize in the ESO's Catch a Star 2008. The artist, a young lady is a pupil in Saint Andrews Junior College in Blackrock.

I was delighted with every Irish entry this year,each child will get a certificate of merit.

I am particularly proud of Ashley's work. Well done Ashley !!!!!


Simon Potterton's class, also from St Andrew's has produced some amazing drawings of unusual (deadly)moons for an exhibition at the Whirlpool Star Party late September. You can see them all when you are down there, on display, roll on Whirlpool !!!!!
