Ok.. I guess I was asking for that!

That should read....
''...dark sites with clear views in Ireland.''

I'm hoping that people can post the names, or directions to, dark sites that
they have observed from in thier own areas which may be of help to other people looking.

(especially around Shannon) :wink:

Hey,

So why limit yourself? Let me guess you have one scope with a single focal length. OK so maybe with a focal reducer you have a bit more leeway. How about 8 different FOV's, Dark skies, access to northern and southern hemispheres and soon you will be able to image 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sorry,

I left out a few things but check out the website for more details. Now if you think $49.95 a month might better suit your needs check out the RAS Observatory where observers from all over the globe join in research projects and collaborate internationally.

Also RASO has 3 MPC codes at the moment at 3 different locations. Soon they will add the 4th. Research round the clock.
