I'd love a sticker from every club in Ireland to stick on my EP case. Just to make it look well traveled.LOL.

If you have a sticker from your club to give away...........pm me and i'll give you my address.

Looking at the long term weather forecast, its looking like the weather might be good for this weekend for the CSP, of course that might all change but if it worked out it would be great especially given the recent weather here.

I'm looking forward to this event last year was brilliant. This year I will be bringing a 14in CGE Telescope plus my Lumenera and a few bits & bobs along.looking forward to seeing you all there. Let's hope for clear skies.

Hi Carl,
Can I ask how do you power your setup ?

Hi Dave,

I'm hoping to be near power but if not i have a portable generator and a long extension lead.
