SOLARFEST 2010 - Saturday 12th June

Following on from last year's success, IFAS in conjunction with Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) www.dias.ie are organising a one-day event in Dublin to discuss solar astronomy. Solarfest 2010 will take place on Saturday 12th June 2010 at Dunsink Observatory, Dublin. We are very grateful for the support of DIAS for supporting the event and entry is FREE.

The schedule for the event is current being finalised. However, it will include speakers from Trinity College Dublin and familiar faces from the Irish amateur astronomy community. Trinity are also in the process of organising an international speaker for the evening.

Weather permitting, we will have solar observing sessions also. A tour of the facility will also take place for those who haven't seen the dome and the 12" Grubb refractor.

A more detailed programme of the event will be provided in due course. Spaces are limited to 60 seats so if you are interested in attending this event, please let us know so that we reserve a seat for you.

Regards,

Michael O'Connell

If people don't want to announce here online that they would like to attend, a PM or an e-mail to michael@astroshot.com is also perfectly acceptable.

A great day out (considering!) was last year's event, so if you have an interest on all things Solar and fancy some daytime observing, do come along.
