This is an astronomy based podcast/talk show that is devoted to stargazing tips, tricks and astronomical equipment. Do you have questions about how to get into astronomy? Do you have a favorite eyepiece that you want to discuss? What about an observing report that you can't wait to share? Are you shopping for a new telescope, and don't know where to start? Do you want to rant or rave about a specific telescope or astronomical accessory? Do you enjoy stargazing and do you take your telescope out every clear night? Well, At The Eyepiece is dedicated to you. We don’t focus on the science of astronomy, frankly there are plenty of shows/podcasts out there to do that. The focus of At The Eyepiece is the visual observer, those people that enjoy taking their telescopes under the stars, and those people wishing to join our ranks. After all, what really matters to a backyard stargazer is what’s At The Eyepiece. — BlogTalkRadio.com

Awesome Astronomy is the podcast for anyone and everyone who has an interest in science and astronomy. Set up by Tom and Ralph, this new kid in your galactic neighbourhood brings you the most graphic description available in podcastland of what's above your head every month, and what you can expect to see for yourself. Brought to you from an underground bunker buried deep beneath the highly uncontroversial and perfectly ordinary Cydonia region of Mars (just a stone's throw from the 'Face on Mars', but there's really nothing to see here... honest!), you can expect in-depth astronomy knowledge, space and science news, spectacular interviews and any of your astronomy questions answered. As both presenters have been accused of being a little skeptical in the past, you can also expect everything to be fact-based but frivolous - okay, don't ask us about the 'Face on Mars'. But don't think this is all about us. Tell us what you want in the show. Send us your astronomy questions and make us work for your support! — Tom & Ralph
