Title: Welcome
Post by: Thomas on February 15, 2014, 07:35:52 PM
The site is obviously new.  I've got a few ideas that are a bit different from the other sites.  I'm going to put up some basic content that will be of interest to beginners, and start working on the software that I need to provide something different.

In the mean time, feel free to use the site.  I hope someone finds it useful.

I'm still adding the beginner content.  Content that's still coming:

Astronomical Equipment Introduction (in progress)
Star Parties Introduction
Astrophotography Introduction
Amateur Telescope Making Introduction

I'm trying to make a post at least every two days.  Each of the introductions listed above will likely be added in multiple parts.

A general introduction to amateur astronomy is here (http://amateur-astronomy.net/forums/index.php/topic,3.0.html).
The beginner's equipment introduction starts here (http://amateur-astronomy.net/forums/index.php/topic,13.0.html).  The content is not complete.  The telescope guide is in progress.
