RTE are sending a camera crew to cover Star-B-Q on
Saturday September 8th. Sky News will be there too.
Leo Enright will give the key note address, a laser
will shoot kilometres up in to the sky, the wonders of the universe will be on
show....such is Star-B-Q
See Jupiter, Mars, Galaxies, Clusters, Gas
Clouds. Learn the stars by laser. Get binocular tips. Test out
one of our telescopes before you buy. Enjoy the food.
As well as the fantastic weather forecast for
Saturday night we also have a far larger number of telescopes at this Star-B-Q
than ever before, and so we can announce that bookings at the 2007 Star-B-Q have
just broken the record of every Star-B-Q in the society's 17 year history -
thank you all so much!
We have a huge venue in Roundwood that can cater
for 1,000 people so if you want to be a part of history and come along to the
biggest telescope event in the history of Ireland then book your place(s) now

Food and light refreshments included in price and
all proceeds go to help the society promote astronomy i.e. your
