[Yellow_Kazooie]

I didn't know there were others ........... I was under the impression that IIS was the place to go :shrug:

[nebulosity.]

Yep, sometimes have a look at SGL, don't know of anywhere as good a IIS though :thumbsup:

As Southern and Northern hemisphere are not the same, it is much more fun to be where people see what you see, experience the same *@*&* clouds you see etc. so you can swear with them, but I also registered for "Astronomy Forums" for example (you can't read threads if you are not registered apart from just one a day or something like that so I mainly registered to read something about my telescope back then). I would also like to have a look at Cloudy Nights, but I haven't registered yet. I have just read some threads.
But we are definitely the best also in terms of quality.

CloudyNights although I'm going there less and mainly for the technical information. PAIG ( Progressive AstroImagers Group ) for more technical stuff, AstroForums occaisonally.
But I must admit that having gone through the worst part of the learning curve where all and any info is good I stick around here probably 99% of the time.

And I like the people ... :D

The AAVSO forum and spectro-aras.com
These are both specialty forums that compliment what we have here.

I have a strong Solar slant so I visit here quite often -

I enjoy IIS for the Solar System images and local events.

None, my heart belongs to IIS

Astronomy Forum - I'm a mod there.
It's got a membership of 88,000... It's different from here - the guys on here are a lot more cluey(they didn't invite me to be a mod for a start....), and the AP here is amazing.

I've also been visiting Stargazers Lounge (UK) and CloudyNights (US) for years, but I've never made a post.
Like Brent, it's mainly for the technical info. (ATM etc)
I've also visited Astronomy Forum a few times due to Google search results for whatever I'm researching at the time. Frustratingly tho, after you've visited a few times the forum bars you from reading any more posts unless you become a registered member. I've not bothered.

Cloudy nights, occasionally stargazer lounge but spent a lot of time on Astronomy shed in the UK. I got and continue to get a lot out of that forum and the people there are pragmatic and friendly. Astronomy forum is new to me.
IIS still rocks.:thumbsup:

Solarchat and SGL since I'm located in the northern hemisphere.

I signed up with CN and maybe posted 5 times, the place is very useful but I never liked the layout as a forum and think they have made it worse now.

I started as a member at another forum I will not name but thought they were horrible to beginners. It may not be a fair reflection on there member base though as it was only a couple of smart arses that got on my nerves. Still since then I have read some questionable advice and seen some questionable practices over there.

Without a doubt IIS and SGL are the two friendliest forums I have been on and the amount you can learn is impressive.
That goes for Solarchat too.
