Novice Astronomer is a beginner-friendly website chronicling one enthusiast’s journey into the world of stargazing and astronomy. The site includes personal stories, observational highlights, event recaps, and gear recommendations—some of which contain affiliate links to recommended products and resources.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
This means that if you click on a link to Amazon and make a purchase (of anything, not just the linked item), we may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the operation and upkeep of this website, including hosting, site development, and future astronomy-related content.
Affiliate links may include:
- Beginner-friendly telescopes and stargazing gear
- Astronomy books, charts, and field guides
- Red flashlights, apps, and other night sky tools
While Amazon is our primary affiliate partner at this time, we may also participate in additional affiliate programs in the future—such as those offering astronomy software, classes, or space-related merchandise. Any such partnerships will be selected based on relevance to amateur astronomy and will be clearly integrated into appropriate content.
If you have any questions about this disclosure or how affiliate links are used on the site, please reach out via our Contact Page.
