I suggest that you use brighter colour for the words on the left buttons.

They're actually quite easy to see, is your monitor dark? But come on...you have astro eyes! Averted vision!

I'd have to agree with Kim Miau. They're mostly a dark gray against the black starry background, the whiter part at the top of the words doesn't help much. And the font on the buttons under "Telescope Info" is so small that I can't even read what they say at all between size and color.

Exactly, do you expect all of the visitors have perfect vision? I wonder how many returned visitors do you get.

I don't expect someone being rude about it. I can read it fine, funny how I posted it here and every complains about the small fonts. My parents has no problem with it, neither does every person I know who read it. Amazing...

It is just suggestions CJ, don’t take it the wrong way. I agree with the others. Sure, I can read it (although the stuff under Telescope Info is extremely hard to read) but ask yourself this: how many sites that are hard to navigate to you revisit?  Do yourself (and your visitors) a big favour and update your buttons to white, orange or similar.

You did ask for comments, and comments you got. The fact you don't agree with them is your right, but you don't need to get snippy about it either, CJ.

i can read it on my CRT monitor, but on my 17" laptop it is unreadable. you may want to lighten it up so it can be read by the largest audience possible.
also check it in both firefox and IE, sometimes IE does strange things to fonts.

Yeah, as a webmaster, it's always good to hear from the visitors and learn from the comments.

It's good to hear from them, but it's also very tough and will take over an hour, posibily 2 hours to update all my buttons, rehost them and put back on the site. I never had negative feedback on them. But what do I know, I'm just 15... thanks for the comments.

So you got stuff to do on a cloudy night! 
An hour or two sounds long! Didn't you save your raw material?
Btw, for just being 15 you sure have some serious equipment there!

Please, age does not matter. I have my website 3 years ago. I never stress on my age. It's good to hear that you are willing to make a change to benefit the readers.
