MicroFUN (μFUN for Microlensing Follow-up Network) is a group of cooperating observers carrying out and archiving follow-up observations on gravitational microlensing events observed in the galactic bulge. Included are both professional and amateur astronomers. It began in 2003, and uses alerts of transients from the OGLE and MOA surveys.
At some point, MicroFUN partnered with or merged with Probing Lensing Anomalies Network (PLANET), apparently using the name MicroFUN. The MicroFUN site currently (2023) displays observation data only into 2019 but does show microlensing alerts up to the present.
