Sky & Telescope

Welcome to SkyandTelescope.com, where you'll find astronomy news,
stargazing tips, expert advice on choosing and using telescopes, and
much, much more.

Hi Rich:

I'm afraid you'll get yet another "so?" out of me. If you want to use the Sky
and Telescope interactive star charts, you'll have to allow the website to set
a cookie. If you don't want a cookie, don't use the star charts. There are
other sources of quick, all sky charts on the web. Skycharts.com is an
excellent one, and so is heavens-above.com.

And the fear of cookies has been around for over a decade and has yet to
prove to be anything more than a modern irrational fear born out of
ignorance...
