Here are some of my favorite Astrophotography sites (this is not meant to be a comprehensive list):
Starizona's
Guide to CCD Imaging: An excellent resource for those starting out in CCD
imaging.
Jay
GaBany: Beautiful images from a
master astrophotographer who is a poet at heart.
Johannes Schedler: Johannes is one of the best amateur imagers in the world, with a distinctively beautiful processing style.
Steve Mandel: A superb imager who has shown how an amateur astrophotographer can make important contributions to astronomy.Dave
Jurasevich: Dave has some of
the nicest Ha images that I've seen, and his website is very
informative.
Brian
Lula: Extremely talented
astrophotographer and telescope maker (and another fellow Massachusetts
resident).
Philip
Perkins: An excellent
resource for tips on using the Lumicon Off-Axis Guider.
Dietmar Hagar: Dietmar images from Austria and has a great collection of astrophotos taken with both monochrome and one shot color cameras.
Mike Stecker's Astrophotography: Mike's site has a great collection of photographs, as well as biographies of astrophotographers from around the world.

Thierry Legault's Collimation Primer: Nice description of an important adjustment for high resolution views!
How
to Balance a Fork Mounted Scope: Excellent
resource and a must read for anyone using an SCT.

fun, and
informative.
