Galway Astronomy Festival 2010

Just some further info for any coming to Galway next weekend. A public observing session will take place at our dark sky site on the friday night situated 12 miles north, about a 15 minute drive from the hotel.

While after dinner on the Saturday it will be a private affair for IFAS and Festival attendees.So please bring your telescopes as the weather forecast is looking excellent. Hot drinks will be available also although the site is well sheltered.

The usual excellent Festival dinner is only €30 (although limited places) this year with the entertainment being provided by none other Terry Moseley.

I hope everyone has a great time at Galway. Ronan and the boys always put on a great event unfortunately I can make it this year:X

Its a great event, I also can't make it down this year for various reasons, but those who can - enjoy!

Brian Harvey will be talking about his talk "The Asian Space Race” and the Galway Astronomy Fest on the Saturday Edition with Brendan O'Brien on Newstalk Radio 104 fm next Saturday at some stage from 8am-10am for anyone interested.

This a big thanks to all the folks who organised the Galway Astronomy Festival. Personally, I thought it was excellent - there was a wide variety of presentations by very competent, interesting and enthusiastic presenters of the highest calibre.

I thought the whole day was exceptional value for money, was well organised and held in a very nice venue.

So thanks a million folks.
