You know what, if people started "SEE" what they're observing and not just "LOOKING" it can open up another avenue! DISCOVERY!

Could you imagine sketching a galaxy one night, coming back to it 3 months later and finding a "NEW STAR" poking out from it?? SUPERNOVA!

If more people not only wrote down what they saw but kept that record to check it against the same object days,weeks or months later they increase their chances of discovering something! HOW EASY!?

The 5 minutes it takes to DRAW an object.....could lead you to something big!

Why not take the time to make Variable Star measurements, EASY PEASY, and you'll be adding to a database and be recognised for your efforts!

So keep that in mind also when out observing!
