Hi Craig.
I think it's a worthwhile idea, because new people to the hobby can often be disappointed if what they see through the eyepiece isn't what they see on the side of the box or if it doesn't look like the great images they see on IIS.
However I see it more as an article, rather than a forum section. I wouldn't see it being contributed to often so I think the proper place for it would be an article, titled something like "Typical views through the eyepiece of various telescopes". The author would either take images, or take contributions of images from people who would be good at simulating an eyepiece view.
It could be done to suit various apertures, from 3" refractors up to 12 or 16" reflectors, and even various eyepieces such as plossls to widefield naglers, and at different focal lengths, showing how the FOV and magnification is different.
It's obviously quite a bit of work and would take some time to put together, but would be happy for someone to take it on. I think it would be a worthwhile article.
