    Hi all,

    The Irish Federation of Astronomic Societies (IFAS) has re-introduced its monthly Astrophotography Competition, open to registered members on the IFAS website. There is a great prize on offer, and best of all, it's all free!

    Check out www.irishastronomy.org and look for the IFAS Astrophotography Competition forum.

    Yep, up and running now. The IFAS website will be down for a time this weekend for much needed server migration/upgrade.

    PM a link to the photo to SeanieM. He is running the comp on irishastronomy.org and I'm sure in the circumstances he'll be happy to accept an entry that way. Be sure to include your IFAS login.

    Got your PM Yohan, thanks! IFAS was moved during last weekend to a new server, so there have been a few glitches since then. Everything is working as it should be now.

    In regards to the new server, I don't mean to be funny but its dragging its heels badly... extremely slow.

    All the glitches appears to have been fixed this past month.

    The IFAS Astrophotography Competition continues, with a GREAT prize offered each month too! See www.irishastronomy.org and follow the (forum) links for more details.

    October's theme? Widefield: Constellations of the Night Sky

    Please note: Entry is open to EVERYONE, however the only stipulation is that you are a registered member of the the IFAS boards for your troubles.

    Have fun!


    Clear Skies,

    Seanie.
