Mike, while I fully respect and understand you and the mod squad
have to say that, but it may be asking too much to start a forum based around and on the enjoyment, study and understanding of the universe, and not expect a few curly questions/threads and debates containing the 'G' word now and then.
this is stating the obvious i guess, but in my limited experience and understanding, a certain percentage of AA's and people attracted to astronomy/star gazing will always be the type of person who likes to go beyond the usual lightness and fluff, take the grey matter for a bit of a workout, and think deeply or profoundly on the BIG questions (rightly or wrongly) occasionaly. Kinda goes with the territory?
So good luck with keeping that genie in the bottle constantly
maybe shoulda started a forum on woodworking or something else instead?
could always rename it to astronomical imaging only?
