Yep it is, so I only stayed out for about 45 minutes. Saw 13 in that time.

The forecast tonight was for 100% clud cover. Had I known there was a gap I would have gone to Wicklow.

Cheers,

They are meant to be particularly good this year. It is fairly clear in Dublin tonight, so there might be a chance of seeing some.
