Im interested in learning about amateur astronomy. How do I begin?
Visiting this website was a good first step. Because there are so many different areas of interest, we recommend exploring a variety of venues to find something that interests you. Read books and magazines, watch television programs, visit websites, contact your local astronomy club and attend a Public Star Party. Go outside as often as possible to learn your way around the night sky, and remember that you do not need any special equipment, other than your eyes.
