On Friday night, 20th Sep, Cork Astronomy Club helped MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory celebrate Culture Night. Club members set up their telescopes in the courtyard though initially we were doubtful of any observing taking place due to cloud cover, however, around 9 PM the skies cleared which allowed visitors could observe the Moon and Saturn, many doing this for the first time in their lives. We had a range of scopes and binoculars on hand including Theo’s new S50 See Star scope which took some lovely images which he was able to display on his tablet. We were delighted to see so many people and chat about the night sky and the Club.
As well as observing there were tours and presentations. More on the Blackrock Castle website.
