Useful Astro Links


This page contains miscellaneous links to other websites that provide particularly interesting information related to astronomy.


General information, especially for beginners

My friend Jan Timmermans has a treasure trove full of information and tips on his "firmament" site. Highly recommended http://www.thefirmament.nl

Image Processing

A page explaining processing of deep sky images, dark frames, flat frames etc. is found at http://astrosurf.com/re/process.html
Flat field correction
Dave Allmon's "simple study of flat field frames" http://www.astrosurf.com/dallmon/html/flatframes.html

Collimation

Thierry Legault's page on collimation is the ultimate collimation resource. See http://perso.club-internet.fr/legault/collim.html, but my own collimation page may also be what you need.
