Last week at the opening of Irish Science and Technology week, we won Celestron NexStar 102SLT Star Locator telescope for participation in the competition. The competition has been extended again which means the main prize (a trip to Chile to see the VLT in operation) won't be awarded for another few months. The telescope was presented to us by the Mayor of Galway, Declan McDonnell, Noel Treacy TD, and Prof. Mike Redfern, one of the competiton organisers.
We havn't been able to use it yet due to the bad weather in Ireland (lots of flooding), but we have it set up and ready for when the skies clear!
Congratulations! Was that first prize?
ReplyDeleteThis was the only prize they gave that day, but it's a good sign for us!
