RE: [Movietime] annual Perseid meteor shower
From www.astronomy.ie
"Ireland's largest gathering of Amateur Astronomers takes place on August 13, 2004(if cloudy it will be postponed until Sat 14 or the following weekend). It is not just only for Amateur Astronomers but also for the general public. All telescopes are provided. This will the second of Astronomy Ireland's 2 Annual Star-B-Qs. The night begins, as ever, with an introductory slide show talk from David Moore. This is followed by barbecue food and soft drinks. There will be lots to see all night including open clusters, galaxies, planetary nebulae, coloured and double stars as well as the planets . **SPECIAL ATTRACTION: The Perseid shooting star shower, one of the best of the year, will be active so we expect to see lots of them on the night**. Book early as both Star-B-Qs sold out last year and tickets are selling faster than ever this year. The event will take place in Roundwood GAA grounds, Co. Wiclow - an extremely dark site with amazing skies. Very few people in the world have ever seen through telescopes this large from a dark sky so support the club and see the universe like few others in the wolrd ever have! Dress warmly on the night. Bring a folding chair, and a flashlight with a red filter, if you have one. How to Book: Book securely online Call (01) 847 0777 with your credit card details, or download the booking form, print it and then fax it to (01) 847 0771 or post it to: Astronomy Ireland, P.O. Box 2888, Dublin 5.

THey're having their annual bbq that night to watch the shower, and they'll be bringing lots of telescopes and the like. I'm afraid I don't know any details though. Nifty
Good idea especially if you walk out along the head a bit!
Might I be so bold as to suggest we meet at 8:15pm outside howth Dart station tomorrow (12th) and then we can walk up howth head. As sunset is 8:58 we should have time to find a good spot.
So wrap up warm and bring a thermos of your favourite hot beverage.

Yep had looked at this but the big problem at least in my case is transport out to Co. Wicklow :( On Wed, Aug 11, 2004 at 02:01:25PM +0100, Donohue, Aine wrote:
