In this page I have collected my preferred links on the WEB, about astronomy (and not).
They are sorted by type in five different cards. To see a card just click on the title and it will appear.

Every link will open a new window in your browser.

These are the pages that every amateur has to know.

I have a Meade telescope and, if you want to know more about it you could visit their site,
but the most important source of information in using these instruments is the Meade Advanced Products User Group, MAPUG, the best mailing list that I know. If you have a Meade telescope you should really subscribe it, I have learnt a lot of things from them.
If you are just looking for the solution of some problem try the Mapug Topical Archive: there are lots of topics divided by subject, it is really a great resource.

The topical archive is edited by Ed Stewart, but he has a good personal page too, with many informations about instruments and accessories design.
Probably the richest site that I know is Doc G's page, nearly an encyclopaedia about LX200 (and other) telescopes: there are lots of tecnical data, he has tested quite everything and you can find many solutions for technical problems.
You can find many tips in Chris Vedeler's page too: I have a debt whit his drawings for the construction of my pier.

The Astro Photo Mailing List is another important source of informations: in their archive you can find everything about astrophotography.

Finally let me point out Sky on line, the best astronomical magazine on the web and the SETI@home project if you want search for ET in your free time...

There are many good astrophotographic sites on the WEB.
These are my favourites:

- Jerry Lodriguss: incredible images, great tips. A master.
- Chuck Vaughn: he does not need an introduction, all know his images!
- Philip Perkins: the best images I have ever seen made by a LX200...how can he do?!
- Axel Mellinger: look at his photos and download the Grainy Background Suppression. I used it for some of my images.
