Night Class in Astronomy?

Dinarius · 2009-09-29 15:55:59

Apologies if I've missed something on this in the stickies. As we are entering the night class/further education time of the year, I am wondering if anyone can recommend a course of night classes on astronomy in the Dublin area? Many thanks. D.

You might want to check this guy's post out: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055697876

However, I think that Trinity College sometimes give evening lectures in various areas, including astronomy/cosmology. They might even do short summer courses in this area, if you can wait that long.

Thanks for the reply. I'd almost given up hope!

Just found this..........

Would be grateful for any opinions on its worth. 8 clases for €180 (including membership of AI) doesn't seem bad.

Any other classes out there?

Thanks.
