Planets and Moons in Wicklow Mountains National Park

The weather forecast looks excellent for tonight except for a warning that there may be a sharp frost.

Fingers crossed , now if you are intending to arrive and set up a telescope it must be on a grass area. Do not arrive and set up on the car park, we have permission to set up on the National Park land only.

The ideal area to set up is about 30feet from the Notice Board.

Drive safe and wear layers, temps to hit minus something brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Is it clear in the east?, its all cloud here in the west.

Very clear here on the east coast.

And dontcha know...............the weekend i wanna go look at the planets and moon................my niece is staying the night.

Foiled again!

Not for the first time work interrupted my plans (if I was married when I took this job I'd be divorced by now). If I started out now I'd arrive just about when everyone else is packing up so instead since I do have the gear loaded I'm going to scout some of the local spots and find out whether any of them are clear. If not there's always Slooh.

Hope all went well in Glendalough.
