This website was created by a layman. Although I'm trying to give details as correct and precise as possible, mistakes can appear. Also not all dates are as complete as they should be. If you detect mistakes or have supplemental informations, feel free to send an e-mail to juergen [at] jumk [dot] de. You can as well suggest stars and other objects that should be included into this website. Also feel free to correct my English, which isn't my first language.
