SkyTonight.com http://SkyTonight.com
The recently "rebadged" site from Sky & Telescope magazine (from
USA). Contains the useful "this week" page as well as calculators for

"how to" information for beginners as well. There are also a number
of articles on DIY observatories.

Another US magazine web site with a number of good online resources. They have
put a number of informative articles online. While a text listing of upcoming
events is accessible, their "sky dome" image is restricted access.

Astronomy Techology Today http://AstronomyTechnologyToday.com/
A very good guide to astro-equipment. On-line and print (low-grade) versions available.
Relatively inexpensive annual fee which gives access to all backissues. Sample
