Calling all astronomers

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tinkerer,
It's the best astronomy site I've ever looked at.
If you (or your daughter) haven't already joined then do so. The members of the forum are a very helpful lot (like this forum) with an enormous range of skills.
For both astronomy and machining content, have a look at DaveGee's http://users.tpg.com.au/users/daveg/'s homepage. It's what got me interested in this metal munching stuff.
FWIW, I'm snowyskiesau on that forum.

tinkerer:
I agree. We spent about two hours exploring the site and links it provides. :bugeye: Now she wants do everything at once, bigger scope, cameras, computer drive goto software and an observatory. :borg: I told her to let me know when she has the money for all of that. With a kid in college, I doubt it will be while I am alive. :lol:
We will join when we can get together again. I'll let you know when.

mklotz:
Do her a favor and have her download the free computer planetarium, Stellarium from:

http://www.stellarium.org/

She'll love it.

raynerd:
Stellarium is fantastic, we use it now for teaching space and it is installed on all the computers. Along with facebook, myspace and msn, I occasionally find the odd one browsing stellarium in their own time.

Celestia is equally as good and again free : http://www.shatters.net/celestia/

tinkerer:
Dl'd Celestia, Dl'ing Stellarium as I speak. Hope I have enough memory for all of this. I'll never get anything done now. :lol: Thanks for those links. Ooops, got a corrupted file message. :bang: I'll try again.
