The Internet is full of wonderful resources for astronomers, professional and amateur, and new ones appear all the time. We cannot list them all here; some of our favorites are featured on other pages of this site. In this list, we concentrate on resources close to home for us here in northern Illinois.

On Twitter, the club will be posting upcoming event details, astronomy
news and interacting with other users interested and involved in astronomy. If
you haven't used Twitter before you might be surprised at the amount of
astronomy/space/science themed users, both amateur and professional,
contributing to the conversation. http://twitter.com/NapervilleAstro

This Twitter account sends automated observing event go/cancel status updates that correspond with those
that are posted on our website's homepage the day of an observing event. You don't need a
Twitter account to follow the updates, but if you do, Twitter enables you to push
the updates via Text Message to your cell phone. http://twitter.com/naperastro
