Hi Brian,

I was there for 10 days or so a couple of years back, and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility. There was a half hour clear spot on the very first night and I had the best of looks thru my binocs, - never seen such dark sky before.

But that was it for the whole time. Each night I waited, and waited and waited .... nothing.

But I loved the place though.

Cheers

Before going I spoke to the local NI Tourist Office & asked if anyone on the island had a telescope.
They searched around & found a guy named Ray Sills. Ray very kindly offered me unlimited use of his 10" Dob while I was there.

Unfortunatly it was total coud cover for the whle week.

Certainly not wasted time tho.... Great place to relax & unwind.
