    Hi,

    I am a newbie and have just purchased a telescope. I am based in city centre Dublin and wondering if there are any good locations in Dublin or surrounding areas for watching the SKY at night?

    I was thinking phoenix park maybe? Or maybe the city light is too strong?

    Any recommendations appreciated :)
