Welcome to SciAstro.net! SciAsto.Net is a network of amateur astronomers in love with the SCIence of ASTROnomy. Our roots go back to the mid 1990s and the astronomy newsgroup sci.astro (still in existance). A few active members decided to start an IRC chat group on the undernet server. Spearheading that effort was Chris Sheehan, Bob Haler, Todd Gross and Susan & Steve Carroll. A lot has changed since then, and many members have come and gone. But, like all successful endeavors, we have changed and evolved to keep up with the time.
While we're still active on IRC, we also have a growing Blog community, a web-based forum, and we're experimenting with VoIP live chatting -- all promoting amateur astronomy.
So if you have, or think you might have an interest in the great hobby of amateur astronomy, please join our fun. It's free and there are many sciastro friendships that are 15 years strong!
(Please note: if your interest is in astrology, there are other sites that would probably serve you better.)
