NEW! David Grennan has put up the pages of his Eclipse article in this month's magazine (Sky Diary pages 22 to 26) at www.astronomy.ie/eclipse.html 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.

For a brochure email eclipse@astronomy.ie and it will be sent later in October to you 2.
