MAC Presents a Moon Watch in Athy, Saturday April 24th

thanks to everyone who turned up last night to the Moon watch event in Athy Co Kildare. unfortunately it was wall to wall cloud. we did however provide a couple of astronomy talks in the school hall, washed down with tea and homemade apple tart 'thank you Mrs Brown:) and thanks to the VTOS centre coordinator Mary Campbell for the use of the School building

BTW, as we left to go home shortly after 10pm - a sucker hole appeared in the clouds and the moon appeared for a whole five minutes: angry:

It was an enjoyable evening, hope everyone enjoyed our talks. Did anyone see Murphy around tonight? 16 nights in a row where astronomical observing was not a problem. Then last night? CLOUD! Tonight? Not one in the sky...
