Hello AAVSOnet!

Is it possible to somehow follow the observing requests and the telescope queue? I have one observing request that was approved many months ago, but I dont know if any telescope time is actually reserved or even if some images have been taken. I have emailed Arne couple of times and my request has been pushed forward, but that is all I know and can find. This feels like a very virtual service.

This forum is good, but it would be much better to get the messages directly to my mailbox. To follow several forums is very time consuming, so I rarely follow any.

best regards,

Yes, a mail-list might work better for those who do have accepted proposals.  I wanted a forum like this to ensure that information is available to all observers, if for no other reason than to get them interested in AAVSOnet and perhaps applying for time.

We are working on a method of informing users when images for their projects become available.  We're hoping to make a bunch of changes over the next month or two, so stay tuned!
