Skywatcher League Ireland (Observing Programme)
Skywatcher League Ireland is the name of our observing programme affiliated with the Astronomical League in the US. We are the first International group to be allowed to join the League. The Programmes are supported by events at Rathbeggan Lakes (or completed independently) and you do not need to have your own optical equipment to participate. Each observing programme offers a specific set of night sky or Solar observing objectives with the aim of teaching you about the subject matter. Certificates and themed lapel pins are rewarded on completion of each programme. Please note that this is the cost to run the programme and all money is paying for AL affiliation and Postage of certificates and reward pins. Over time with more members we may be able reduce costs through shared postage. Kids under 10 can take part in the Sky Puppies programme for free if a parent is a member.
