Thanks, Iceman

Due to your points (and I think you are correct in these) it probably would be more suitable as an article.

I like the title, I couldn't think of anything. But I did think of a name for these types of images - Representative Telescopes Views (RTV's). I'm not being serious here but I did like the acronym, sounds technical

Is anyone interested in doing this? Or could be a small group project.

I would encourage anyone that take's this project on to be mindful of what would be required to ensure this feature was of useful help to beginners.

I can't really contribute and I'm not confident enough to organise this feature. So I do hope somebody will get things going.

Yagon, I checked the Meade cat. and I copied this from page 111 :

The astrophotographs in this catalog do not represent actual views through a telescope.
For an explanation, see pg. 57

I have dialup and downloaded where I thought pg56 might be but I missed, so I haven't viewed what it says. I assume it may have some RTV's , correct?

Thanks, Craig
