Line up is interesting guys, and I think I will try to make it myself. I hope the observing site is as hot as you boast - it's going to be under the microscope that weekend!

See i told ye this keyboard cant write irish.

Well seanie, the site is what it is. Its always good
Though to check other spots out. Its no mount parnon but
Its our backyard so of course we will boast about it (even though
Galway is almost nearer!)

guys'n gals,
IF we get a cloud and haze free sky, then you're in for a treat. Is it thee darkest place on the island?, probabily not if you consider the remotest areas in south west Kerry, but it is certainly not far off it and is alot more accessable with good routes from Limerick/Ennis/Galway.

Then that's good enough for me!

Seanie.

Ive been looking at where might be the darkest spot in ireland
For a while and putting placemarks on google earth.
I must upload them onto my site and see have any of ye either
Been there or to some other dark site.
It might be cool to have a map like that. Viewable in google earth.
First placemark - burren!
Our site for the club is handy coz its a carpark but its by a road
Although you only get a car or two an hour passing.
Some of the rangers ive spoken to know darker spots stll but
They are hard to trek to and dangerous if not impossible
At night. Sounds like fun!
