This site from Jim Kaler, a Professor of Astronomy at the University of Illinois, is geared toward amateur and budding astronomers. Kaler offers detailed but non-technical descriptions of selected stars and a link to a photo of their respective constellations. Another section of the site, The Natures of Stars, consists of basic overviews of key concepts. The star descriptions are interesting to beginner and avid starwatchers alike, but the photos would benefit perhaps from superimposed arrows or other finding aids. The Stars site grows by one celestial body each week: the Star of the Week from Kaler's other site, Skylights.
