Subject: Galileo + P. Paice book

Hi all,

Just a final reminder about the Galileo event at Armagh on Sunday 20 October, 
from 16.00 to about 20.30, in the Synod Hall, Abbey St, Armagh (nr C of I 
Cathedral). It is sponsored by Armagh Observatory and Armagh Natural History &
 Philosophical Society.

The Armagh Theatre Group will give a rehearsed reading of "The Life of 
Galileo" by Bertol Brecht, followed by a lecture by renowned astro-historian 
Dr Allan Chapman, Wadham College, Oxford, entitled "Galileo: The Martyr who 
brought his own Firewood".

Admission is free, but by ticket only: Tel. Aileen McKee at the Observatory 
(048 from ROI) 3752 2928, or Email: ambn@star.arm.ac.uk to book.

See you there,

Also, you might like to note that the book entitled "More Small Astronomical 
Observatories", edited by Sir Patrick Moore, published by Springer (ISBN: 
1-85233-572-6) contains a chapter written by IAA member Peter Paice from 
Belfast, whose excellent photos often appear in Astronomy Now, not to mention 
STARDUST.

Clear Skies,

Terry Moseley
