Here in SDAS, we need to get the word out in order to attract sponcers, in order to make this profitable, in order to get more equipment and pay the airfair of the ou-of-the country speakers. So we are going on a push.
This means that you may hear targeterd (and none targeted) advertisements at the end of this podcast. Or not. (we are set to only make the first 50 people listion. difficult stuff!). so dont be supprised!

[EDIT]
we need all of our viewers to compleat our survay.

"What is this season one rubbish i hear you talking about?" you may be shouting at your screen while reading this. "I seem to remember 2 others before this!" Yes. Yes you do. But they were only "Teasers" as it were, the real Astro-Action (And yes...i am damned for life for saying that) is only just beginning! (And we finally have a Advertiser lined up! more on this later.)

So, in todays bulging-at-the-seams episode, we have a little ramble, followed by an exclusive Documentary by myself and Fintin in the Field, our first Roaming reporter, (if you want to become one as well, send me a detailed email about what you will tell us in your documentary) about what happens when lots of grown men who love Astronomy get to see a moon eclipse, followed by a nice talk on "Mr Messier and his Catalogue": The Messier catalogue is considered THE list of the "Best of" the sky's celestial sights beyond the Solar System. But how did the list come about, what were the first deep-sky objects to be discovered, and where can you find these showpieces of the heavens? This has been put together by none other then John Flannery.

Welcome back to the show!

Hi again, just to let you lot of podcasties know that i will be doing a talk on  "Podcasting: Stars online" (how podcasts can change the way we look at astronomy) at September 18th, Ely House, 8 Ely Place, Dublin 2 for the Irish Astronomical society. Not sure how the Charging in works, but if you want to know how i podcast, turn up and ask me there.

Well, loyal people who have kept up with us through the holidays, we have served up more then 500 helpings of Astronomy Club fun, which I think is quite amazing for  show which only has a handful of episodes!

Well, we are back, and with some more great content. Lets look through what is going on with episode 3 (and we will be monthly again until the end of the school year!)

The topic for the evening is "Mr Messier and his Catalogue". The Messier catalogue is considered THE list of the "Best of" the sky's celestial sights beyond the Solar System. But how did the list come about, what were the first deep-sky objects to be discovered, and where can you find these showpieces of the heavens? Come along on the evening and find out. All welcome and no admission charge.

"How may i come along?" I hear you ask...Well, contrary to popular belief, we are not situated in some deep hole under the stars, but in fact in Gonzaga Collage, Ranalagh, Dublin 6. Just say you come from the podcast, and I'm sure we can share some starbars with you if there is any to be had.
 
We are working on some great stuff with the podcast for the coming months, with the slight possibility of a few Video-editions of the SDAS podcast, (as since our audio editor guy is doing his JCert, he does not have time to mess up the timings with the slides) and a tiny tiny bit more.  (Think: working on sponsorship = more funds for the club = better talks!) All this is still speculation, but where there is a will there is a way!

Join us for our next episode, coming at ya round about next monday, (but probably sooner!)
