Jeff Medkeff's web presence?

Does anyone know what has happened with Jeff Medkeff's web sites?

http://www.roboticobservatory.com/
http://jeff.medkeff.com/

He's been last witnessed writing a review of the PST in the latest
issue of Astronomy, but since these reviews are typically written
months in advance, it doesn't shed any light, I'm afraid.

Any thoughts?

HI Brian:

Well, he couldn't have written the PST review too long ago...it hasn't been out
that long. My guess? People get busy, revamp websites, etc.

Btw...that group is really awesome because it can get into the *very*
technical side of astronomy...right up your alley, me thinks. ;^)

Or I think more appropriately: the technical side of observing, with a
focus on the objects themselves and observing techniques (rather than
equipment). Much of the discussion concerns obscure objects and obscure
catalogs. Don't know if that's up Brian's alley, but I'm certain he'd
fit right in there.

Clear skies,
Greg

Brian,

Jeff's Web site is now:

http://www.medkeff.com/jeff/


As you suspected, Jeff wrote the review about a year ago. Since then, he
has moved from southern Arizona to Alaska. I think he sold the
roboticobservatory business.

By the way, Jeff handed over ownership of Amastro to me last year. Greg's
post sums up the group well. Your presence would be welcome.

Did someone take it over? The robotic business? Reason I ask is
our club was talking about consulting with him, but if he's moved on ? ....
