Astronomy Web Sites


I have tried to list only sites that I am actually using here instead of just adding clutter to the site.
 
The Astronomical League - The world's largest federation of amateur astronomers.

Cloudy Nights Telescope Reviews - articles, reviews, and forums. Highly recommend!

The Belmont Society - Tutorials, reviews, and some of the coolest sketches you will ever see!




Science links

The first two are a little redundant but I haven't decided which site I like best

Hubble Pictures - Pictures and information from the orbiting satellite

HubbleSite - News and pictures

Space.com - all things space

NASA - The official site



Online Magazines

These are the major magazines I could find online. Look them over and subscribe to one.

Astronomy - Online version of the magazine. Highly recommended for the beginner.

Sky & Telescope - Online version of the magazine. Reviews say this is a more technical magazine for serious amateurs

Sky News - Canadian magazine

Astronomy Now - UK magazine

Amateur Astronomy Magazine - By amateurs for amateurs



Vendors I have successfully used

Owl Services - Telescopes, binoculars, and a great selection of plossl eyepieces at excellent prices!

High Point Scientific - I got fast, friendly, and accurate information on a scope and a good price.



I hope you found something of interest here. If you did drop me a note. Please report dead links or offer better links for consideration.

Clear Skies!
