Links

• Astronomy WWW Resources. A general collection of electronic journals and links.
• Astronomy Web Sites. Amateur Astronomy Online. Useful links, but the page uses white text on a star filled black background and thus is the very devil to read.
• International Dark Sky Association. The good people who work to keep the night sky dark. An effective organization and a very good site that I recommend highly.
• Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA's Cal Tech based science and engineering space lab. A major resource including downloadable images from space.
  • Comet Observation Home Page. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's home page for all comets.
  • Hale-Bopp Home Page. Probably the single best Hale-Bopp site, with over 4,000 images from around the world (including five of mine).
• Longest Visibility of Ancient Comets. From the European Space Organization. Hale-Bopp compares favorably.
• The Nine Planets. A wonderful site on the solar system, hosted by the University of Arizona. This link is to the mirror site at the University of Washington.
• Sky & Telescope. One of the best sites around, with numerous articles, images, links, and a news wire that's updated daily. The now discontinued CCD Imaging magazine page has several excellent articles on processing digital images.
  • Comet Links. You might have more fun going directly to the home page.
