Does it need to be a competition? A challenge might be seen less intimidating.
Maybe to start keep the concept simple- got a camera, scope and mount, show us a picture.
The technical aspects can be, should be, could be (need concensis) included. Not for bragging rights, but for informed critique.
Sidonio's can come and play. It makes for a comparison to aspire to.
The object selection I think is the exciting part. It one month be object specific, other times theme specific, another time gear cost specific. This widens the posibilities and helps keep it fresh and relevant.
For the 'toucam' fraternity, then another month could be their's, or even run concurrently. There's an idea- who can get a month's worth of lunar shots to show is libration!
What this needs to be is inclusive. That is what I like about the obs. challenge. It aims to appeal to all levels of experience and gear. It aims to encourage and foster participation. Everyones ego can be stroked this way.
That is why I suggested Eta Carina. Something for everyone- do with it what you will.
