Much better to just use the interactive sky chart at S&T:
http://skychart.skytonight.com/observin ... launch.asp

or

the free planetarium software: Stellarium
http://www.stellarium.org/

to learn the sky.

If you want galleries of pictures, I've got a whole list of links to the best astrophotos on the web.

Cheers,
Chris

Agreed... Stellarium is one of my favourites for a long time. Best of all, it is available for Windows, Mac and Unix platforms... a very important consideration for an ardant Linux supporter like me.

Chris, I'd love to have the list!! Better than me surfing and searching the net aimlessly everyday...

You may post it here, or send to my email.

Thanks, aye!
Kat

PS : Your sky chart is much more universal! Thanks!

Hi Kat,

I've uploaded my astronomy bookmarks on a webpage, so just scroll down to 'pictures' and check them out. Sorry that it's a bit mixed up. Will be trying to build a more organised list soon.

Stellarium software is really a good software to good at the skies during this hazy period... Highly recommended.
