The Sidewalk Astronomers are promoting the 2nd International Sidewalk Astronomy Night on April 12th.

This may be of interest to clubs and groups involved in outreach. Personally I plan to set up a scope at my own front gate and invite the neighbours to have a look, if the weather allows.

Above link has a little globe click into it, a world map comes up, click into Ireland and there we are.

Have a think about doing something in your area 8-) Start this year so it will be a cool IYA 2009 thing to do.

Would the event in Sandymount be in the carpark along the coast road?

Or in the village itself?
