Some words from the moderator

Hi all, and thank you for your support!

I need your help to keep this forum alive, and welcome the contributions from everyone.

All kinds of deep-sky related stuff is welcome. Personally I enjoy reading observation reports, and in particular I hope that novices (not necessarily equipped with large, expensive telescopes) will contribute. A binocular observation of the Coma Berenices star clusters is just as welcome as a post describing the emission regions in M74 based on observations with a 20-inch Starmaster.

I have followed the discussions under this forum for quite some time, and hardly seen any irrelevant posts. I hope that the number of active contributors and posts will increase rather than decrease.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Inge,

What changes shall we expect? What is your function exactly? Will you be approving every incoming post before it hits the net? Will you be deleting inappropriate post and posters? I've seen a lot of posts regarding "running this or that group", but never a post describing what it means.

Good - I get quite pleased whenever I can spot anything out of the way.
A - trying to learn to starhop (which means memorize so I don't have extra stuff to deal with.)
B - using mostly a Stellarview Nighthawk

Did find M81 the last time I got out. Couldn't find M82 (or didn't recognize it)

Congratulations on being the man, I just told my wife the other day that you were the right guy for the job and behold it has come to pass.
