1. DEEP PARTIAL
ECLIPSE
Remember on Monday morning the deep partial eclipse of the Sun will take
place from 8:50am to 11:15am and we have Eclipse Watches around Ireland for you
to go to.
See
www.astronomy.ie for list of
Watches. Go along. Get free leaflets and support AI by buying our
magazine.
So far we are expecting RTE TV News, "Morning Ireland" from RTE Radio
1 and The Gerry Ryan Show (2FM) to be at the Dublin Eclipse
Watch (Phoenix Park 8:30am-11:30am) so tune in to the radio and watch us on TV
that day!
NEW!
David Grennan has put up the pages of his Eclipse article in this month's
magazine (Sky Diary pages 22 to 26) at
If you think making articles from the magazine available online is a good
idea for the future also please email David on
skydiary@astronomy.ie
ASTROSOLAR - remember if you want to view the eclipse for yourself in
safety then using AstroSolar is the only safe group way to do it (projection can
be dangerous if kids rush up and grab the eyepiece!). AstroSolar is available
from our Shop in Artane on Saturday from 10am to 6pm
And check out what is left of our huge stock clearance sale while you're
there, see
www.astronomy.ie/sale.rtf for a new
list updated today.
ECLIPSE SHADES - we still have these available in the Shop on Saturday
10am-6pm
Whatever you do make sure you take Monday morning off work for the deepest
eclipse we'll see from Ireland until 2011.
TURKEY ECLIPSE TRIP 2006
On Monday we will be launching our Eclipse Trip to Turkey for the March 29
TOTAL eclipse next year.
2. STOCK CLEARANCE SALE
Due to ongoing problems that An Post is having delivering our
magazine (has anyone still NOT got their October issue?) we have to extend the
sale in to October.

No reasonable offer refused on huge range of telescopes, bags,
eyepieces, CCD cameras, accessories etc that must go!
