Taipei Observatory, $B!!(BAKUTSU was received cordially by Director C.-H. TSAI, 67 of
age, and they enjoyed a conversation in Japanese. The Director told him about the history
and present status of the Observatory as well as the circumstances of amateur
astronomy in $B!!(BAk also met Fan-Lin TAO, who is a No.2 of the Observatory and
also a friend of Minami. Ak once used to be
absorbed in the observation of occultations and this
is common to F.-T. TAO, who checks about 100 occultations
a year. Ak asked also whether Tao will watch
the red planet this year (1990), but TAO's reply was
"Maybe No, because the apparent diameter will be smaller" which
disappointed Ak. AKUTSU on the other hand felt
that the so high-upped Mars this year will broke the neck of anybody who uses
the refractor in $B!!(BAk was also shown every facility: He was most impressed with
the library where old Japanese books on astronomy were collected. He saw also a new sliding roof equipped
with a new 12.5cm ED refractor which was not present when Minami stayed in
1988. Another thing he was very impressed with was the view from
the Observatory: too beautiful or too bright, and he felt that the Observatory
might not be able to watch anything but moon and planets. The photo here cited
which shows the $B!!(BAk is thankful to $Bhq>O`[gJD9(B (Director TSAI)
and $BF+HYN[O7;U(B (TAO) for their using time during his stay at
night.
