Hi Dee!

You might be interested to know that 5 people from Ireland attended our “100 Hours” event in the Binghamton, NY area. They were visiting their US relatives and the American part of the family took them to our event at Kopernik Observatory (www.kopernik.org). I had a discussion with them about the Earle of Ross’s great 19th century 72-inch telescope at Birr Castle. They highly encouraged me to visit and view the refurbished telescope. I’ve put it on my travel wish-list!
