Default The Great Slooh!

Firstly, Jigsaw you are an idiot!
I have been online with slooh for several months and it is great! several times weekly we have great amateur astronomers like David Levy and astronomy magazine writers who comment live with the images on Slooh Radio,( http://www.slooh.com/radio.html ) and help us learn about astronomy. I also like when it is available to me in Nevada, I can view slooh in the day and then go out at night with my own scope!
Slooh is a great concept to help people who can't get out of thier house much and also to help new people learn about astronomy theres no-one stopping you from going outside too. there are 50 ten minute missions a night in group sessions and you can chat with other members and also you can get solo time on one of two telescopes. and for many months it's been free!
Perhaps you should try something out first before you open your big mouth and but your foot in it! It's ignorance and stupidity like yours that scares people from trying and learning new things.

my account no longer works, I was never able to get it to be very accurate--the pointing and imaging seemed to be off.

SLOOH has been undergoing continuous improvement. There has been significant work done at the observatory, and the pointing has improved.
