WELCOME TO BALTIMORE ASTRONOMY SOCIETY.
NEXT MEET-UP: 8pm THURSDAY 31st OCTOBER 2024 CASEY'S of BALTIMORE
Bring your scope if the weather looks promising, Casey's has a lawn behind. If there's nobody in the bar, or if you're late, look over the hedge at the back
of the car park to see if we're there. We have lately started trying to kick off with a short talk/presentation around 8pm, then discussion, then observe.
ABOUT US
Baltimore Astronomy Society (Ireland, not USA!) began in early 2023 and exists to provide a focal point and place to meet for local people to share
or express an interest in astronomy and feast on the exquisite night skies we have down here in West Cork.
Whether you're an experienced stargazer, a beginner looking for advice, have no experience but want to find out how to get started, or are
an astrophotographer, come along to Casey's of Baltimore any "final Thursday", or get in touch via the contact detail at the bottom of the
page.
The regular meet-ups are from around 8pm followed by observing in their lawn behind, weather permitting. There's plenty of parking
and the lawn is perfect for astronomy mounts.
