Observatory to let public use telescope
The observatory in the 16th-century castle on the banks of the River Lee is due to get a new dome for its telescope from Britain.
“The new dome is 4m in diameter. Previously it was 3.2m, which might not sound like a big difference, but it represents an increase of 50% in the floor area and will be sited on top of the main tower,” said BCO spokeswoman Dee Geaney.
