 The first thing to try would be to visit your favorite search engine and
enter the astronomer or observatory's name.  Most astronomers and
observatories today have Web sites.  Although they may not be
comprehensive, there are two astronomy-oriented Web sites with astronomer
and/or observatory information.  They are the _Astronomy Search Engine
(English site)_, <URL:http://star-www.rl.ac.uk/astrolist/astrosearch.html>,
or _Astronomy Search Engine (German site)_,
<URL:http://www.astro.uni-jena.de/Often_used/astrosearch.html>, and the
_Star*s Family of Astronomy_,
<URL:http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/starsfamily.html>, resources.  The latter
is part of the AstroWeb Consortium (see A.06).
