Home page of Hartmut Winkler Welcome to my home page! I have populated it with links that relate to me, my work or my hobbies. You may find some useful. Functional with no frills. In the menu on the left you will find links to the pages of various large larger projects where I have collected a lot of data. This includes the Z-limited AGN Catalogue (ZAC), the South African solar power station database and details related to the Eskom grid.
