You may have purchased or built the finest telescope with the best optics, but you won't be able to make the most of it without accurate and up to date astronomy news on what is going on in the sky nightly at your location.
Even the best magazines such as Sky & Telescope or mailing lists can only provide general information. There are computer programs and web sites that will may help but you have to check them regularly.
For less than the cost of a decent eyepiece, SkyWatch will provide daily updates on eclipses, satellite passes, meteor showers for your specific location.

What is Sky Watch?
Sky Watch is your astronomical alarm clock
that will keep you informed about what's going on in the sky. SkyWatch started off with
tracking the position of two
satellites - MIR and the International Space Station and has been continually updated with new
services to keep you updated on all important astronomy news events. MIR has been
replaced by the Hubble Space telescope and the Starshine
satellites. Notices are
now sent out about eclipses and other astronomical events.
I've also added meteor showers
to SkyWatch
In order to enable you to plan a night of skygazing, I've have added to the SkyWatch
subscriber service a
weekly report
of sunrise and sunset times AND moonrise and moonset times
for the subscriber's location and recently started SkyTour
to help familiarize subscribers
with the constellations and the night sky.
The satellite predictions will be based on the SGP4 model and
data released by NASA.
If you would like information on books about Astronomy or Relativity
theory, please check out the SkyWatch Bookshelf
which has book reviews.
You can also purchase a SkyWatch gift subscription or
Christmas gift for a family
member or friend who is interested in astronomy and receiving
the latest astronomy news.
Please feel free to send any other questions, suggestions or comments
