For Starcrafters...(Astronomers) - A Meeting of Minds

Oldwolf · Jan 16 2009, 07:44 AM

Please can we have a Starcrafters Forum ?

spacedog · Jan 16 2009, 08:07 AM

I'd go in that, although I'd have a lot of catching up to do.

***Hans*** · Jan 16 2009, 09:27 AM

Hmm, wasn't this asked before? I am pretty sure of it, also that I pointed it out to Cheryl. Well, with this we poked her again

**Cheryl** · Jan 16 2009, 11:13 AM

My reply now is same as it was then. I'd like to know more about what you'd use the forum. Mostly I'd just like to know that it would get enough traffic to be worth creating a new forum for.

jube · Jan 17 2009, 02:19 AM

Couldn't it come under as a sub-forum? Thought only, probably think of at least 6 who might use it.

Oldwolf · Jan 17 2009, 07:50 AM

well i thought those amatuer astronomers amongst us could post our images etc and get feed back from the Professionals who are fans too?

P'ter · Jan 17 2009, 08:37 AM

We could also gather together the threads otherwise posted hither and yon about forthcoming eclipses etc.

I see it as being somewhat wider in subect than would otherwise fit under Edith's Science of Pern.

Lady Maelin · Jan 21 2009, 07:19 PM

Sounds fantastic to me...even those of us that aren't amatuer astronomers would love to look. Even when we don't quite know what were looking at, there is always someone in the know to tell us, here on MoM. We do have the best astronomers you know!!! I have been following Venus, in my night and early morning sky, ever since Steven told me what I was looking at.

GinnyStar · Jan 21 2009, 09:29 PM

Yes like when Steve B. and his VISTA (I think that how you spell it thead.

Perhaps sub-forum within the DRofP or Exbit Hall my spelling is off today

P'ter · Jan 22 2009, 03:24 PM

I don't think it would belong under 'Pern'. I think that (if we get it!) it would be better under the Exhibit Hall like the Photo Con

Lady Maelin · Jan 22 2009, 05:08 PM

I agree Peter...it should perhaps be a sub category under the Exibition Hall...as they will be showing and sharing with us their skills with the stars!!!

jube · Jan 22 2009, 07:19 PM

Think that's what I meant - a sub-forum like the photo ones or where in the world (in this case, where in the galaxy perhaps

)
