A good idea Glen. One of the criteria to validate an observation will be some confirmation of the seeing conditions. I observe quite regularly with different scopes, but perhaps only once or twice per year (sometimes zero times) do I experience such conditions that allow extraordinary observations. It was in these conditions in July last year after I had split some very challenging double stars that I set the scope on Saturn and detected the Encke gap. And this was a first for me in over 50 years in astronomy. So if an observation is claimed, and others in the same area report ordinary or poor conditions on that night, then it will be suspect in my view.
