Two PMs gave a correct answer but not the answer I had in mind.

There are TWO Irish towns up there it seems, (at least).

Hint 1: It is named feature ON a named body.
Hint 2: Christy Moore sung it's praises.

Oh yeah, I remember now;)

The winners will be announced tomorrow.

Oh,I forgot to tell you the prize.

A Free trip to Lisdoonvarna.(Subject to transport being available.).

Peter.

The answer is LISDOONVARNA.
Lisdoonvarna is a crater on Gaspra.

See it here:

Those who got it right were Dave Grennan,and Galactus.

I excluded Baltimore in Cork because it is too well known.
However there are MORE Irish towns up there.

Dave Grennan and Michael Murphy pointed that Ardmacha (Armagh in English) is an asteroid,so that qualifies as a win.

Galactus also pointed out that the Irish village of Magh Tuiredhedh is named on Europa.....also a win.
He also said that that there is a Moytura ,which he thinks is somewhere near Dundalk,up there in the sky somewhere.

Keenan mentioned the village of Moone,Co.Kildare,so he qualifies for a consolation prize.

The prize of a free trip to Lisdoonvarna will be given as soon as transport is available.
(We can all meet up in the middle of the crater.)
