The Sky Guide
A very professional site that provides information for beginners and
long-time observers. It is a public service of some of the
members of the Columbus Astronomical Society (though it is not
directly affiliated with that organization). This site is one
of the best submitted to PN for recent consideration.
Andy's

The dark night skies have so much beauty to offer anyone who

their interest fanned into flames. Personal Observation recordings
and advice for people searching for telescope and accessory advice.

of the year from various locations on the earth. You can click on

learn the names of the bright stars.
The NGC/IC Project
Wow!! Every astronomer should check this one out! In the
site's own words: A collaborative effort between professional
and amateur astronomers to correctly identify all of the original
NGC and IC objects, starting with the original discoverer's notes
and working forward in time to encompass the work of contemporary
astronomers, both professional and amateur, such that the identity
of each of the NGC and IC objects is known with as much certainty as
we can reasonably bring to it from the existing historical record.

still an awesome site.
