Hi All,
Yep, it will be sorely missed. One of the best things on the site was Steve Gottlieb's observing notes thorugh 8, 13 and 17.5" 'scopes. Having observed with Steve before, I know him to be a very experienced, thorough and systematic observer with a great eye for detail who wrote concise but meaningful notes.
I'm not certain but, I believe Steve's is the second largest observing log in the world (about 6,000 entries) behind Richard Jakiel (about 10,000).
There has apparently been a lot of bad blood between Bob Erdmann and Wolfgang Steinicke for quite some time over exactly whose revised (corrected) NGC it is that appears on the site. I want no part in the debate, but I sure hope that somehow sanity will prevail and the site will be resurrected -- somehow.
Best,
Les D
