CLUB OBSERVING SESSIONS

  SAC Observing Log

Weather Permitting, we run scheduled group club observing sessions
generally on Friday or Saturday nights.
We inform our members of upcoming observing sessions by a webtext service.

These sessions are held at the clubs secure dark sky observing site
near Boher, Co. Limerick.
Everybody that attends will get to look at the universe, using the naked eye, 
binoculars and various size telescopes, along with tuition from our club members.

You don't need to have binoculars or a telescope, you can use ours! 
Our club members use many different instruments, from simple binoculars to
computerized telescopes and even a 20 inch Dobsonian!


In 1990 we designed and built a 12" Newtonian,
pictured here with Dr. Chris Lintott ( co-presenter of 'The Sky at Night' ) at the 2007 Whirlpool Starparty.
The scope was left fall into disrepair for a few years but we are glad to say it
is undergoing some crucial refurbishments at the moment and although not quite finished,
it still offers some magnificent deep sky views.

Observing Sessions thread on the Message Board.
