Where can I get an online email address catalog of astronomers ?

Well....There are 6500 astronomers affiliated with the American Astronomical Society which has a web site at AAS Headquarters, and it is true that our membership directory contains the addresses and phone numbers for all current members, but that address book is not a public document. You can try sending a request to AAS HQ using the 'feedback' key at the bottom of their home page and explain why you would want such a catalog. Odds are, they will not give it to you.

The best approach is to visit the web sites I have identified in my HOTLIST area. Very often, these sites will give an email address to someone ( often an astronomer) that maintains the site, and who might be willing to correspond with you.

If you have some specific things you are looking for, I might be able to help too!!!
