I was thinking before about observing reports of objects, and thought how helpful they were - then thought how much better it would be if it were more searchable....

My idea is for a new forum - or use observational astro - and have a thread devoted to a DSO, with a standard thread title format to aid searching

ie. NGC 4945
People would post replies to the thread with a description of their observations - maybe even a sketch - describing what they saw, with info of scope/EP, location, sky darkness, moon phase, objects altitude etc

It could easily become a really great resource, once some data collected. Would be really helpful to new and old when going after a new object - give you an idea of what to look for....
