Can anyone recommend good stargazing community sites for new stargazers?
I'm very new to astronomy and recently acquired a 5" telescope. I'm looking for recommendations for good Web sites that are active and informative with a healthy forum where I can ask questions and get help. Does anyone have sites that they can recommend?

I think foggy has it - Cloudy Nights is the best one I can think of.
If you're lucky, you also live near a good astronomy club - you could start looking for that here. Local folks can help you tune your scope and learn to use it. They'll also know of good observing sites nearby.
