SingAstro is soliciting contributions from all members to our new Astronomy FAQ/Articles sub-forum which has been created by popular demand.
The contributed article can touch on anything and everything related to astronomy and star-gazing/astrophotography, and need not necessarily be in a quesion-and-answer format. Members are welcomed to edit/embellish their previous posts for contribution. Images and illustrations are encouraged. There is no restriction on article length but adminstrators reserve the right to edit for clarity and facts. Equipment reviews posted to the Reviews section are also eligible. All contributions must be original works of the member.
The top (and only prize... ) is a full colour astronomy poster of various planets and DSOs worth $30.
Winner will be selected by the administrators and/or via a poll.
Contest ends 1 May 2004.
Cheers

Thanks, Chee Chien. I hope the article can be made 'sticky' or easily available where newbies can take a look at it and need not ask "Which telescope should I buy?"acc wrote:Hi all!

Congrats, Kay Heem.
It is a superb article... so good that I repeated it in my own forum post, linking it back to Chee Chien's sticky post as well.
Thanks for the hard work which benefits all newcomers to amateur astronomy.
