Blurb:
On Tuesday December 3rd next from 8pm, members of Midlands Astronomy Club will host an Open Night on Astronomy in the Presbyterian Hall on High Street in Tullamore that will give you an opportunity to learn more about Amateur Astronomy and the night sky. With a focus on telescopes and their accessories, this event will allow visitors (members and non-members) to bring their telescope and ask questions, view demonstrations and take home free aides that will help them in their quest to observe the wonders of deep space. It will also be a night to ask questions that maybe Santa would ask in time for Christmas, if he were here and posed with a letter asking for a telescope.

The event is a free one, and members will have on display various tools, such as books and CDs, free downloadable help guides, software tutorials, as well as telescopes, eyepieces and tips on cleaning your telescope and accessories.

It begins at 8pm, everyone is welcome to attend, and there will be plenty of opportunities for 1-on-1 questions and answers. For more information, contact the Secretary (Seanie Morris) on 087 6825910 or email midlandsastronomy@gmail.com (website is www.midlandsastronomy.com )

The latest club magazine (Réalta) and November's SkyMaps will also be available on the night (both FREE).


Clear Skies,

Seanie Morris.

Hi Seanie..

Just wondering ,if it's clear will there be an observing session
afterwards? Sounds like a good evening I might put it in my
calender.

Cheers Roy

Hi Roy,

If it was dry, we'd take any telescope out that may need a finderscope alignment, for example. If it's clear, then we'd stay out and have a peek at what we can spot from our town location!
