Here you will find utilities and websites of interest to Newise users:
 U.K. Star Charts 2007:
How often have you wondered if you'll be able to see a particular planet tonight? Or
maybe you wish to find out what the bright star is over to the east as the evening
twilight fades. Now you can find answers to all these questions and plan your observing
sessions with our easy to use desktop planetarium customised for the British Isles in 2007.

 Scope Calc v1.0:
What's the optimum magnification for my scope? Is the field of view of a given eyepiece
too small to see all of the Moon? Is there a minimum magnification I can use? What
sort of limiting magnitude should I expect with an instrument of this aperture? What
happens if I use a Barlow lens? You can find answers to all these questions and more
besides with this interactive telescope calculator.

 Arizona
Sky Village:
Nestled in the foothills of the Chiricahua Mountains, at the mouth of
Cave Creek Canyon in beautiful Portal, Arizona you will find one of the most
unique communities in the USA. Dedicated to the appreciation and preservation
of its natural surroundings, Arizona Sky Village offers residents an opportunity
to discover the wonders of nature while enjoying all of the comforts of home.
Located in one of the darkest deep-sky sites in North America, astronomers will
watch in awe as the Milky Way rises like a gathering storm and will rediscover
the universe under pristine dark skies.
Two Newise telescopes (one of 16-inch aperture) are installed here.
