For those interested from the Leitrim Roscommon Sligo area,in particuler the new club (Breffini Starwalkers Astronomy Club), I got a recent posting of an event on the Leitrim/Fermanagh border. Their is a IAA meeting at "COSMIC CUILCAGH" at Marble Arch, 25 - 26 February. Its running, in conjunction with Armagh Planetarium and the Marble Arch International Geopark, another stargazing event at the Marble Arch Caves Visitors Centre, in Co Fermanagh. This is one of the darkest sites in Ulster, lying about 15 km SW of Enniskillen. It's near Florencecourt NT property, and can be accessed from the A32 Enniskillen to Swanlinbar / Ballinamore Road. It will be on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 February. AP staff will be providing the Stardome mobile planetarium, a selection of meteorites, and other hands-on activities.

"Cosmic Cuilcagh" aims to bring the universe down to earth in Fermanagh, and is named after the mountain which dominates the area.
The IAA will be providing a selection of powerful telescopes for observing if clear, or on display if cloudy, together with the usual selection of the best astronomical photos and posters from all the world's leading earth-based and space-based telescopes, some of our own meteorites, and other items and information.

It will start at 11.00 on Saturday morning, running on until late that evening if the sky is clear, and then again on Sunday from 11.00 to 17.00. Celestial highlights will include a lovely crescent moon with Earthshine, brilliant Venus ('the evening star'), giant planet Jupiter with its belts and four large moons, and Mars rising later in the evening. And of course all the usual deep sky wonders from one of our nearest neighbour stars, through double stars, clusters and nebulae, or nearest big neighbour galaxy in Andromeda, out to members of the Leo/Virgo cluster of galaxies.
See www.marblearchcavesgeopark.com/ for location and other details.
The V/C has a cafe, and refreshments will be available.
