I have been an avid Backyard Astronomer and Star Trek Fan (the two don't always go together!) for many years. Here are some of my favorite Links in these two areas. They include many good resource pages as well as sites that allow you to actually remotely control a telescope so that you can do some real observing yourself. Try some of them out!
