Where is a good place to chat live about astronomy?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 at 11:54 pm

I've been searching and I cannot find many places that are live chat capable. Is there a place where people can go and talk about their findings, and whether or not it was Mars that was seen West of Denab and Northeast of Pleiades star cluster. A place to talk about goot astronomy products, and a place to talk about the best way to chart stars. I hope there is a place like this. If there isn't a place, is there a person out there that likes chatting about their findings? That would be awesome if there were. My Yahoo! Messenger is wiltzandrew1989, AIM is wiltzandrew, MyspaceIM is wiltzandrew. I hope that you guys can help me find a nice online astronomical community of sorts. Well I hope to hear from someone or hear of a good chat room. I have Starry Night Pro Plus 6.0.6, and a good eye, no telescope or binoculars infortunately. I'm only 17, and I started being addicted to stars 6 days ago when I saw Pleiades and the Summer Triangle. Well hope to hear from you soon. Good luck!

If you dont have a telescope or binoculars, is there a better way to chart stars than this?:

Cassiopeia is much closer to the zenith, and Capella is closer th Pleiades and Mars, to the left of Almach. I was thinking of putting circles, and measuring the sky with a ruler, 2 foot from my face to be more acurate. What should I do to get more accurate charts than this?

In a world that's complicated enough, the affordably priced PermaFocus binos are a relief for simple, fixed-focus, long-distance viewing.

Thanks to quality fully-coated optics the action is bright and crisp and the ergonomic rubber housing means you won't drop them - even with gloves on. PRODUCT FEATURES: Fully coated optics for superior light transmission and brightness; Unique "Focus-Free" feature stays in focus at most viewing distances; Non-slip rubber armor absorbs shock while providing a firm grip.
