What happened to SEDS?

I've found an archive for the Messier data in France, but what happened
to seds.org?

I dunno, but The Astronomy Connection (TAC) mailing list which I believe
was hosted on some seds server (seds.org) vanished as soon as Huygens
landed. In fact, that was the last message received by the TAC mailing
list. I heard hardware failure, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
TAC is a mailing list for observers in California. You post your
observing intents (where, when, etc) to the mailing list/website and
other observers can join you, or you can join them.

Will be up soon? Would TAC move to another server?

Other TAC sites are up - see, for example, www.tac-sac.org

There are a few such maillists around the country. Thr large one
for the new York City area is a Yahoogroup forum, NYSkies. It was
orignally established with a vore membership from Amateur Astronomers
Association but is operated entirely independently from it. That's why
you'll see some chat about AAA business among its messages.
It's main purpose is a place for astronomers form anywhere (we
have a bunch of out of state members) to discuss items of interest to
us in and around the City. Because our membership is generally more
socially and civicly active, there are messages on topics peculiar to
New York City, including a few from me.
Like TAC, NYSkies is not a 'club' as such. However, it does
cooperate with regular orgs to promote home astronomy in the City. For
instance, it exhibits at the Earth Day far, this year at Grand Central
Terminal on April 23-24. It also exhibits at NEAF on April 16-17.
I do remind that its motif is glatt urban New York, but you're
welcome to check it out. Look for 'nysky' in the Yahoogroups website.
