Albert, cool little app.

Anyway, I still need data for Cork and Slaneyside clubs

Also, send me your observing site and sites of astronomical interest details, even a google map link will do.

I am crying out for data!!!!

I wrote this tool a while ago to convert from OSI to WSG84 coords.

Handy if you only have a map reference of you site.


If you register (for free) with the Ordnance Survey, you can get a co-ordinate converter webpage.
go to www.osi.ie click on Geodetic Services and then on co-ordinate converter. You'll be asked to register at this point. It can convert many formats.

Yea but I wrote mine before they put that up :-) Actually some folks in the OSI were helpful in explaining the maths to me!
