For astrophotography (well, as far as I'm concerned, any photography) it would be advisable to stay away from Flickr. I just don't understand how anybody can view any type of photography on a stark bright white background. It is painful to look through Flickr albums. You can say goodbye to viewing any fine detail in your image, thanks to the disgusting brightness of the background. This might not be a problem for people who use 17" (and smaller) monitors with low resolutions. But, I can tell you, at 24" (1920x1200), it hurts.
You need something with either a black background or a neutral (50%) grey.
With that in mind, I chose pbase for my interim hosting until I get my business site up and running. pbase allows you to use varying CSS templates. I use a stock one with a neutral background.
Another two excellent sites are SmugMug and Zenfolio. They provide a whole heap of services, too. I didn't need them; I really like the simplicity of pbase.
