Here is an example of the sort of things I'm looking to give a home to.
Here are links to two threads which discuss sketching techniques in the three pages of thread titles currently listed. None of them had been started by me, yet they contain the majority of my sketching contributions:
Sketch the moon night:

Sketching tips:

Given another two months, these threads and their incredible contributions will be shoved across to the archive. Not a place that really cries out "Hey, I'm alive and kicking".
Would the two above be best served with a sticky each rather than as a part of a new sub-forum? They do also serve as a type of gallery too.
As an added thought, would two stickies, one for DSO's and the other Planetary, be the way to go, somewhat like the imaging gallery? There is a lot of solar work too.
Also, for those fearing duplication and repetition, the first thread listed was made very much as a "gallery" to carry the Lunar contributions rather than a higgledy-piggledy collection of separte threads dotted throught the forums. All in one place!
