Went for Kidsfest so much busier than usual Friday nights. Great fun and got some viewing in before the clouds started to take over! So cool seeing constellations from millions of light years away and the likes of Saturn and Venus with her 4 moons. Members are wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable!
Great place to see the stars.
True geeks, fans and lovers of astronomy.
Loved it. Went here with kids fest and my 7 year old. Passionate people and excellent observatory.
Had a great time with my kids for Kidsfest, really informative.
Good to see the night sky without light pollution from the city. Did not meet my expectations. But maybe my expectations were too high. Best to go at a time when there are less people. Not an open night.
Enjoyed a fantastic open evening and blessed with amazing views with such wide variety of telescopes and wonderfully informative and helpful volunteers to guide newcomers like me. If we weren't flying back to Ireland soon I'd love to join the society.
Great super experience. Kids really enjoyed it
Great night out!
