Here is a list of other astronomy web-pages that I like or have found useful. I usually only include web pages about visual observing, although there are also one or two astro-imaging websites included as they belong to friends.
If you have a regularly-updated web site that is about astronomy, especially visual observing, star parties, telescopes, etc, and you’d like it added, just email me and I’ll add it to the list. Also, if you find any broken/duff links, please let me know. Please do not send emails requesting the addition of websites that have nothing to do with astronomy or astronomy-related subjects.

Disclaimer – I am not responsible for any content whatsoever of external websites. As far as I know, all the sites I’ve listed are benign, safe and free of viruses and malware, but  like everything else on the net, it pays to be careful before clicking and to always have up-to-date firewall, anti-virus, anti-pop up and anti-malware software running.
