I shall use this to develop source code before release.
My first document will be the current Autoguider release note.
This is the main World Wide
Web entry point to network information at Cambridge Astronomy. A brief overview
of astronomy and the Web along with a new user's guide and a list of local services are now
available.
In addition to the information available in the topics listed below,
you can discover what new facilities
are offered by this server, what's
new with the World Wide Web, and learn about
Mosaic.
Some of the new Hubble
pictures - including some new ones!
- Astronomy things
- The Astronomy Page includes
pointers to useful astronomy information all over the world, including
access to databases, documentation, and other home pages, including the MRAO Home Page, the X-ray group public page and the UK HST Support Group Page.
For those using Mosaic 2.1 or a similar client with WAIS access, a list of searches is available - including the
score and article size returned by the search. A similar list is available for those still using
older browsers (who really should upgrade).

documentation: this includes Starlink
documentation, the Big Dummies Guide to
