    Anyone going to try to capture it?
    Any tips? Tripod obviously but settings?
    Any good places to go in or near Dublin to get a better view?

    You need to get away from Dublin and it's light pollution to do it properly.

    this site may be useful to find where light pollution is least intrusive.

    Tallaght viewpoint is a good place to go.
