Ask away!
Astro amateurs,
When I moved to SW Austin in '98 I finally found the stars above me! Not hard to do since before then I lived in San Antonio and Houston where you just get a consistent orange glow (especially in Houston). This newsgroup was VERY helpful for me to come up to speed on learning amateur astronomy as a hobby. It even helped to find and choose my first telescope. Ever since then I've been enjoying this wonderful hobby and wanting to start my own site that helps to document stuff I've learned that I think most people should know. So now I have at : http://www.skywonders.com or http://sky-wonders.blogspot.com. I know this is a shameless plug for a website, but I'm not selling anything, just giving away free info, so please don't flame me. I'm just trying to get more astro info out there by writing informative articles. I plan to add some RSS feeds so you can get astro news as well. So please visit the site if you would like to submit a question. Just click on the ask a question link on the sidebar and post a comment to the "Ask Me a Question" article. Or for simplicity, email: (just remove the nospams). The only thing I ask is that you don't ask me "What telescope should I buy?" or "what star did I see the other night to the east?" type newbie questions. For those I encourage you to research this fine newsgroup. I'm looking more for questions that inspire thought-provoking answers like "Why does only one side of the moon face us" or "What is a sun dog" or "Why can't you look at a solar eclipse if the sun is blocked?" or "Why doesn a rainbow sometimes not have a reflection?".
