Online IIS gallery

Not sure if Mike is planning this, but is anyone interested in posting every image we do to a central gallery section instead of those lovely images getting lost in threads. I am happy for it to be hosted on my servers. I would write a little program to allow voting on which is best image for the month etc.

Some feedback would be great and also some thoughts on how we catalog it.

ie
solar system
---->mars
---->jupiter etc
dso
---->nebulas
-------->NGC1234 etc
---->clusters
-------->NGC1234 etc

We need novices to quickly navigate to the pictures etc

when submitting, i am thinking of splitting into three sections.

1. beginners shots
2. guys like me and asimov, some tracking and hand held camera, or no tracking and webcam / camera but not both
3. guys with dedicated long exposure equipment, striker, eddie etc

need to have as a minimum for a submitted photo
seeing
transparency
scope
mag
camera settings
processing software

etc

it will be database driven, so anyone can query the database ie give me a list of the images taken of saturn using a barlow on a standard dob with a toucam etc

the site can hang off mine http://precons.com/iis/imagegallery or something like it, or i am sure we can get the iis website to redirect to this.

any thoughts would be great
