Thanks Trevor,

This looks pretty good ... a bit like Wikipedia but for astronomy. I looked up "quasar" and was impressed witht the result.

Have been looking at the SAO offerings at Swinburne on and off for the past 6 months (having done Engineering there back in the 80's). Main interest at this stage is identifying a good current Cosmology reference, since most of my books are now 15-20 years old.

Any recommendations?
Have my eye on "Universe, by Freedman & Kaufmann, 2007, 8th edition ".

Cheers,
Jeff
