This is a great new astronomy site where you can watch live images from a
telescope in the Canary Islands and even sign up to run your own 'missions'.
Why not take a quick look at the SLOOH experience! |

Astronomy Mega Links |
A link to a huge list of other amateur astronomer websites. |
| astronomy.ac.uk |
A range of Astronomy/Cosmology courses available from a

from the MPC. |

|
NASA/JPL Horizons |
The JPL HORIZONS On-Line Solar System Data and Ephemeris

The telnet service can provide much more detail than the web
service. I use it to obtain position and velocity data for the orbit
simulator. |
| Planetary
Data System Home |
Lots of information about planets etc. |
| Qcuiag
QuickCam site |
Home of the QuickCam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy
Group. Information and links to users of webcams and other non-astronomy
cameras. |
