From: TerryMoselaol.com Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 15:27:52 EST Subject: ARTI LECTURE, COSMOS, Mount Stewart Hi all, 1. Due to a late cancellation I have still got a guest ticket available for the official launch of the ARTI radio telescope for Ireland tomorrow (Thursday) in the Royal Irish Academy, Dawson St, Dublin. This will follow the public lecture, at 6 p.m., by Dr Phil Diamond Director of the MERLIN & VLBI National Facility at Jodrell Bank. That will be followed by the official launch at about 7 p.m. Since it's such short notice, the ticket is now available without any donation to the IAA funds! But you'll need to reply to me aby email by midnight tonight (Wed), and make your own way there. 2. Congratulations to all in the thriving Tullamore Ast Soc, who put on yet another very enjoyable 'COSMOS' starparty at Annaharvey last W/E. I'm still recovering.... Prime movers were once again Maire & Girvan McKay, Grainne Kirwan, Seanie Morris & Tom Walsh, but well done to all the committee. There was a fierce storm for most of the W/E, but even so, some observing was possible on the Saturday night. I regret to have to admit that I once again declined to accept my prize for winning Bob's quiz, and found another willing victim, in the shape of Danny Collins, to go hore-riding - again! Girvan won Maire's quiz (cries of 'Fix' resounded through the room), and a team including John O'Neill, Creidhe O'Sullivan & Seanie Morris won the table quiz (sorry, I've forgotten the fourth member!). The date for next year's event has already been set: 1-3 April 2005. 3. IAA EVENT AT MOUNT STEWART, Co Down. Saturday 27 March, 7 p.m. This event is for the public, and unless you have already booked a ticket you're too late, UNLESS you are bringing a telescope or tripod-mounted binoculars to show the sky to the public! Mount Stewart, the famous National Trust House & Gardens, is well signposted on the main A 20 road south from Newtownards to Portaferry, about 5 miles from N'ards. Refreshments are included in the ticket price, in case you are looking for any cancellations. But best of all, bring a 'scope and get in free! We'll have a nice crescent Moon, + all five 'non-telescopic' planets, + the usual other goodies to see. Clear Skies, Terry Moseley
