Let us know if you are going to do this. I'm planning to go to Bray some day soon to visit the family and might drop down.

Count me in Keith.

I'd like to get a close up view of Knight Rider.

Just checking but it might be worth considering Saturday February 20. The moon is about 6 days old, Mars will be rising, Orion will still be prominent and also asteroid Vesta is close to gamma Leonis, making it easy to spot, how many members of the public have seen an asteroid? A good selection there I think.

Sounds good Paul , if its clear. On the Friday (19th) the IAS will be in Sandymount so a follow up in Bray on the Saturday would be good.

If its clear this Tuesday evening , I hope to show the moon and Mars to Bray Sea Scouts
its a long standing arrangement , a follow on from a talk.

It's an 8 inch flextube Auto tracking dob:)
I got it in November I didn't want to get the blame for the weather :laugh:.

I've been busy at work and haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces but so far it's been very good to use.
A lot easier to setup and tear down than the nexstar and a lot lighter as well!
