My 2cents worth here would be that neither a forum section or an article would be the way to go (sorry Mike) What should be workable would be something like a "visual representation gallery". Submissions still under the direct control of Iceman and whom ever else has access. I think the article structure might not really lend itself to what would in effect be a gallery of images of all things celestial, thru a multitude of different apertures, f ratios and EP types. I don't think using images from outside sources it a good idea, because the person manipulating an image must have at his/her disposal the optical system being simulated. eg, since I do not have a 16", I can not say what the view thru one would be like to the unaided eye. Then there are other considerations such as seeing conditions, and dynamic range (m42)to combat. Living here in Sydney under light polluted skies, I could not be guided or influenced by submissions from those living in snake gully or other nice to be observing sites. All this is not to say that the job can't be done, only that it is not as straight forward as we might wish.
