Message From the Gatekeeper
Welcome Astro-Friends!
Astra's has been on-line for 12 years and was updated with new graphics and pages in a new
format. Dont miss "What's Up, Ron?" by amateur astronomer and writer, Ron Leeseberg, a.k.a.,
the Star Geezer. Every month, Astra's contains an astronomical almanac for observers in
North America. Find out What's Up? this month and every month. Thank you, thank you, Ron.
I've just updated the Comet page in honor of Comet Lulin that I saw at closest approach.
The Observer's Page offers beginners a page where they can find advice on equipment and
observing programs. It's been updated with some new links. In addition, there are links for
serious observers and astronomy clubs. If you have any comments or suggestions for the
Observing Page or any page, please let me know by using the contact page. This page is not
yet complete nor could the gate ever proclaim to be the complete reference. There is also
a commercial vendor page with links to some of the best places to find astronomy equipment.
