I must admit I’ve pondered it before.
I think many people don’t want to take a step to the big boys forum because they’re worried they are big noting themselves and their images don’t actually warrant the move!
Why don’t we (as a supportive Astro imaging community  ) sort out some form of voting system to move people on from the beginner section.
Not sure what this would look like but maybe something as simple as if a beginner if 3 or more people say they believe it’s time to move on then that’s when they do???
The issue we have is we don’t want to flood the big boys gallery with pics that aren’t worthy of being there and on the other hand we don’t want to discourage beginners by having pro shots in their gallery
PS......I’d say this is a pro shot....excellent image |
It’s has been said before but I’ll say it again for any Mods listening. I think we need an intermediate section, somewhere comfortable for members to transition to. I understand the fear of posting in the deep space section but honestly I very rarely see any comments by the big boys that are anything other than supportive or constructive. On the flip side though I’d agree that we don’t want to start filling up the deep space forum with images that are maybe not quite at that level yet.
If we want to do a voting system, I’ll start a thread in the imaging and equipment forum and if you think we should have an intermediate section, let’s take a vote on it ?
