Former students of the Barnes & Noble (free) online astronomy class. This is a very friendly community of budding astronomers where a newbie can feel completely at ease, learn and post. More like an e-community with loosely structured format, and a great place to develop astro-friendships. (Very active)

This is a very unstructured and informal gathering of amateur astronomers from around the world. Like the Outback Steak House ad "No Rules, Just Right". A friendly fireside chat over coffee format where you can share or ask questions and you'll always feel welcome. (Moderately active with flairs of activity)
