    Hi folks,

    Thanks to all of you who stopped by our stand and attended our talk
    at the Connacht Star Party. A special thanks to the Galway Astronomy
    Club for putting together such a great event and giving us the
    oppertunity to have the stand and presentation.

    Some people were enquiring about the details of the image of Europe that the presentation edned with. The source was the
    Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute
    http://www.inquinamentoluminoso.it/dmsp/artbri.html That page contains
    links to the higher resolution images and an explanation of how the
    data was obtained and the calculations made.

    Another popular inquiry was from people wondering where we got the
    cardboard spectrometers and diffraction gratings from. They were
    purchased from StarLab at
    http://www.starlab.com/psprod.html#Anchor-Cardboard-14210

    We are planning to launch our new website in the next month. If you
    have any suggestions for what should be included on this website
    please let us know. The site is meant to be a resource for light
    polution in Ireland, so its important for us to know what information
    people would like to see there. One part of the site will be devoted
    to having an archive or letters and responses that people have
    recieved from councils and TD's etc, so if you have written a letter
    in the past or recieved a reply, please send us copies so we can
    include them on the page. Also if you are interested in having a link
    on the page back to your club or organisation please let us know.

    As always we are looking for people to keep an eye on oppertunities
    to give submissions to local councils on their development plans etc.
    if you would like to act as a coordinator for ILPAC at a local level
    please get in touch with us. Not much work is involved, and we do need
    help at a local level.

    Cheers,
    ~Al
