Our Features
Graphics to link to AmSky Features
Our features are designed to look much like features of your
website, not crude commercials for AmSky. We do have links to AmSky's features
and ads for businesses that cater to amateur astronomers, but we strive to use good taste
in placing these links and ads.
You are welcome to display your links to AmSky in any way you prefer.
For example, a simple link like "Astronomy
Clubs" for the Astronomy White Pages is fine. However, for your convenience we
have provided the graphics below.

The Astronomy White Pages
The Astronomy White Pages has links to over 700 astronomy club web
sites, classified by state or country*. To link to The Astronomy White Pages please
use
whitepages.amsky.com.
If you would like a link to astronomy clubs in your state or province,
etc. Just link to:
whitepages.amsky.com/listclubs.php?local=<yourstate>.
Substitute your state, province, territory, etc for <yourstate>.
For example, if the link ends with "local=arizona" it will list clubs in Arizona
only. Likewise, if the link ends with "local=wales, it will list clubs in Wales in
the United Kingdom. Be sure to insert the listclubs.php as this will bypass the header and
footer for The Astronomy White Pages giving your site a simple list of nearby clubs.
