From Daniel FISCHER
@. . .
.thank you for the frequent updates of Mars activities - but the new frontpage
http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~cmo/ISMO.html
just
doesn't work: There is just NO link click to any of the material, including the
picture archive and the CMO's! Until a few weeks ago, everything worked, and
there were plenty of links, but now it's just a dead front page for my browser
with no further content (and I've also analyzed it with View Page Source and
View Page Info). Please bring back a working front page for the rich CMO
content!!! Regards,

. . . . . . . thank you very much for your kind mail and the URLs to circumvent
the troublesome main portal (why not just offer the *old* one as an alternative
or a very simple, frame-free text-only page?).I would feel honored to be
included in the mailing list for the printed CMO.
We have an active observers scene here in
the Bonn area, and I promise to distribute the CMO widely. Now, for 2001 there
will not be many useful observations from here because the declination is too
far south - but we will try do some work from Zambia in June when our group is
in Africa for the Solar eclipse. Regards,

. . . . . . . I'm happy to report that
http://www.kwasan.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~cmo/cmomn4/hp3.htm
works
fine (although it's hard to read - a more neutral background would be much
preferred), as does
http://www.kwasan.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~cmo/cmons/Gallery.htm
(which
I've linked on
http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~dfischer/mirror/224.html
in the
small items at the end; it'll be advertised more prominently
soon).
And
many thanks also for the printed version of CMO #243 (which shocked my mother
with all the Japanese characters :-) - I'll show it around in the local
observers community here in the Bonn area! Regards,
P.S.: I've
got a very different question. This November a large group of German amateur
astronomers is going to S. Korea for the Leonid meteor storm. I know that the
relationship between Japan and Korea has been difficult at times but also that
there is a lot of cultural exchange now.
We are having great difficulties making
contact to amateur astronomers in Korea because almost all websites there are in
Korean - could you point us to some national or local organizations which we
could contact before the trip? The professional astronomical organizations and
observatories were easy to find, but so far we have not found a single
amateur.
