I'm happy to be involved.

I will try and give it some thought over the next week and try setting up a test run to see how it will take off.

I think it would be beneficial even for those who don't participate in the reporting to see what can be seen with different equipment.

We could start of with a single list and later see if it is worth going to aperture specific lists. This will allow for a broad spectrum of reports / observations for each object.

If anyone else has any other ideas feel free to PM me - even with possible targets for the first list.

To get people inspired, below is a web page of a good friend of mine (still convincing him to join) which has some of his sketches - mostly using a 6" scope. Ours probably won't be this good to start with, though I think with time we will see some changes in our sketching techniques and observational skills.
