Just to touch on this topic again, if I may. The arguement against a solar sub-forum is the lack of solar posts at the time of this thread (September 2009). There seems to be a steady increase in solar activity and subsequent posts.

My other argument for a separate Solar sub-forum, is that is a completely different discipline altogether, compared to 99% of the rest of the hobby. It requires different equipment and it is done in the daytime!

Perhaps Solar System sub-forum could be split into two sub-forumsL: Lunar and Planetary (because of similar imaging techniques) and Solar (because of the reasons previously stated)?

I see this request no different to the separation of the different disciplines in the equipment section.

Regards...
Given that we're going into solar maximum and more and more solar images will be posted, i'm inclined to agree with you at this point.

Will see about creating one soon.
