Armagh Daytrip Nov 24: Just a reminder that our coach trip to the Armagh Planetarium to see the new incredible DigiStar projector (one of the best in the world) takes place tomorrow Saturday Nov. 24. There are still a few places left on the coach, which leaves from outside our Shop at 10am (our Shop will be specially opened at 9am in case you want to do any Christmas shopping or see the vast array of telescopes on display?). Please bring all your family and friends and book now on (01) 847 0777 or www.astronomy.ie/armagh2007.html

Astro-Expo 2007 Nov 25: Our annual exhibition for everyone in Ireland takes place this Sunday Nov. 25 (noon to 6pm). As well as the 3 lectures on The Sun, Photographing the Planets, and Light Pollution, you can get a star show in the portable planetarium, see the huge array of telescopes on sale, visit the shops from Armagh Planetarium, Natures Treasures and Astronomy Ireland, and also see the award winning "SUN in 3-D" display from Armagh Observatory as well as lots of other exhibits and "how to" stands in the huge hall at Artane Family Recreation Centre (near our office/shop - park you car at our Shop and walk around the corner to Astro-Expo). Maps and full details are at www.astronomy.ie/astroexpo2007.html We are hoping that everyone in Ireland will travel to Dublin once a year for our annual exhibition, planetarium shows, and lectures, so please make your travel plans today and bring all your family and friends.

Astronomy on the Radio: Did you hear us on national radio during the past week promoting astronomy and Astro-Expo? We did 2 hours on Newstalk on Wed, 1 hour on Dave Fanning show on RTE RADIO 1 on Thursday, and a brief live appearance on stage at Vicar Street for the Ray Darcy show on TODAY FM this morning (Friday). We also supplied a question for last week's Late Late Show for the big car competition. We have also done countless local radio interviews. This is a phenomenal amount of exposure even by Astronomy Ireland standards and we hope to put recordings of most of them on www.astronomy.ie/audio and www.astronomy.ie/video
