		The IAA observing and planetarium evening at WWT, Castle Espie, near Comber, on Saturday night was a great success!
		But we also had showers so it was just as well that we had the amazing and indefatigable Robert Hill with the mobile Planetarium who did 4 shows on the trot to full houses, and our own IAA 'Ulsternaut' Derek Heatly, who did 3 presentations in a row on his past and planned space exploits.
		So in spite of the cloudy sky at times, all seemed highly satisfied with a good evening.
