Information about what sort of equipment to buy, what to look for in a telescope, and where to point the thing once you've got it! Theres also other useful stuff about astronomy in general, and some handy links to other useful pages.
Since long ago, people around the world have associated the heavens, the stars, and the patterns they make in the sky with their gods and goddesses. These are their stories.
