Astronomy Weblogs

  • Observing Notes by Brian Skiff
    Observing lists are divided by constellation. Brian notes: “The files include the raw notes that Chris Luginbuhl and I made for our book starting about 1970, plus many follow-up remarks from the literature.” Many of the later observations were published in the Webb Society Quarterly Journal and ‘Deep Sky’ magazine articles.
  • Observing Notes by Tom Polakis
    While it’s not actually a weblog, this collection of over 3800 observing notes spans all 88 constellations and covers 2,349 unique objects. Tom is an expert observer whose observations cover over 400 nights over the course of 30 years under the night sky.
  • Space Jockey
    Amateur astronomy weblog by Ewan Bryce of Stenhousemuir, Scotland. Contains photography and a growing number of sketches.

  • Deep Sky Blog
    Astronomy weblog by Rick Tiffini with focus on astrophotography, but many other interesting observations and links provided regularly.
  • Daniel Coe’s Astronomy Log
    Astronomy weblog by Daniel Coe, enthusiastic newcomer to the hobby of amateur astronomy. The site features observations, photography, equipment discussions, book reviews, news and more. The site looks like it should become rich in content very quickly.
  • NYC Nova Hunter
    More fine observing from NYC by Ben Cacace, discoverer of the Cheshire Cat asterism near M38 in Auriga. During astronomical dry spells, the site focuses on some very enjoyable bird observing.
  • Personal Logbook
    Observation reports and sketches by Denis Y
  • AstroNotas
    Spanish astronomy site by Juan Luís Martínez with a great observation section. Check the Católogo de Messier observations and the Cielo Profundo (Deep Sky) sections. Even if you don’t read Spanish, the sketches and data tables are excellent. This is what I would aspire for my observation pages to be–I’m not there yet 🙂

  1. Nice site, Jeremy! Am still exploring it when I get the chance. I should be getting my mirror back anytime now, and I’d like to see if I can see the horsehead, myself. I think I saw it before with a 6″ homemade scope, but I’ve sold that one last year.
    Regards, and best to you,
    Mark Harry

  3. Thanks for collecting these. I’ve been using a lot of these links for the past few days. I’m new to astronomy and it’s good to have so much in one place.
