Can I make another point on this? I agree with some comments but at the end of the day as the saying goes
“You can leed a horse to water but you can’t make the horse drink it’
For many years in a local Astronomical Society, I spent many many hours’ preparing Viewing nights, observing challenges, work shops, Messier Marathons etc, you get my point.
Some where well attended but over all the time and effort was not worth it. Too many people are not observers, especially in the local group I was once in.
I found I spent more time trying to help others and not “doing” the hobby I love.
So I became selfish and pursue my hobby for me!
Maybe there is a way to make it easier to report observations. Maybe just a tick to say Yes I observed such and such on such and such date.
Guy’s don’t get to rapt in Oh I’m wasting my time or no one else writes observations.
Do what you feel comfortable with and leave it at that.
Please just enjoy the hobby to your own level.
All this my own opinion.
