While browsing around astronomy sites (as one does) I came across a site which I don't think has been reported before on IIS (I did a search). My apologies in advance if it has been reported previously on this forum.
The site presents an excellent run down on telescopes, accessories advantages, disadvantages, uses....... ideal for a beginner. It makes the perfect adjunct to Brian (Miaplacidus)'s intro. articles.
The site can be found at

I believe that even more advanced members will find the site useful as it gives a description and a well reasoned assessment of a multitude of telescope types, sizes and brand-names as well as their pros and cons.
I feel the site is deserving of a "Sticky" label.
