Just other little thoughts to likely aid some positive discussion.
- It could be put under a Sub-Forum like your Observation Reports.
- It might also generate an additional group or sub-group of different kind of astronomical clientele.
- On-line Book Reviews or Sales
- Searching for discontinued or out-of-print books.
- Doing basic research looking for on-line astronomical literature for articles or observations
- Discussing or finding various useful astronomical papers available from the Astronomical Database Service (ADS) (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html), which also contains many papers from the 19th and 20th Century. (These are free for personal use.) Not all are complex, and those of the 19th Century have many useful and enlightening observational descriptions.
