What is astronomy? How do we know anything about the planets, stars, galaxies, and everything else in our universe? This is the place to find out.
Anyone with an interest in amateur astronomy will eventually wish to have a telescope of their own. Here you will learn about the different kinds of telescopes available, including some major dos don'ts for finding a telescope.
So you have a telescope, or maybe not. Doesn't matter, you still want to take beautiful pictures of what is in the sky. This page gives a few places to start.
After reading this page, you probably want to learn more. ALOT MORE!!! Here is a list of more (and maybe even better) websites you can visit. You may also wish to visit some great museums and observatories around the nation, many of which I have visited. Links to some of my personal favorites are listed here.
