New Astro Website

Hi y'all,

Seems the fad these days is to have your very own website.

Well, I thought I'd give it a go too. My site is very basic (pretty bad actually ) and the pics in the gallery are shocking but hey, ya gotta start somewhere!

Anyway, your welcome to have a sticky-beak and suss it out. The address is: http://astroken.bravehost.com

Enjoy. I suppose it can only get better coz it's pretty bad now!

The SVAA web site has been running slow the last day or two because it is hosted on my home server and has been affected by me downloading an update to my educational software this download is rather large (2.8Gb) so it is eating up bandwidth on my connection, the site will be back to normal by latter today or tomorrow.

For those that have visited in the last few days I would like to apologise for the slow speed of loading, the SVAA site is being hosted by me for free so that the association can keeps it's cost down during its start-up period. Once the association is able to afford hosting cost the site will be moved to a faster server.

If there is ever a problem with the SVAA site please send me a PM or goto the contact page on the site and send me an email about it please.

Thank you all for your patients.

I like your site Ken. The front page is laid out really well with plenty of info; it's like reading a mag.

Thanks guys.

I wrote it like I talk. Just conversation. No high-falootin Scientific talk to confuse Bozo's like me

I still got 2 pages to do yet, and plenty more crappy pics to go into the Gallery.

So if you like sites that aren't hard on the brain, this is it

The cartoon 'Snake Astronomer' will be on stickers and stuff to help raise funds for our Association. He will also be the Snake Valley Camp Mascot

Good going, Ken! i was interested in learning that there are more than just me who are trying/tried to get photos using a Kodak EasyShare cam (mine is a C340). So you use zero exposure setting? May give that a try - been using -1.5 and its not that great.
Anyway, good one!
