The Web between the Worlds

The first is a site that has been set up by the moderator of the Shallow Sky email list - Akkana - who was responding to a question on the list regarding Schiller, with the following message.

You can search for "Schiller" and see the references to it, or you can just click on the pages that are on the terminator right now and see what features people find worthy of mention."

I also received the following email during the past week and am quite impressed with the number of links available from this website - those of you busy on the Telescope Making Class may find this site of particular interest.

"Hi Brian and Chris - I thought this page might be of interest"
