Fraser-

How can you differentiate between the Astrophotography section, the Observational Astronomy section, and the Astronomy Equipment and Accessories section?

Astrophotography is for actual pictures taken by members.

Observational Astronomy is for objects in the universe one can see i.e. galaxies, planets, stars, comets... How to find the objects, their names, etc.

The last is to help members that have questions on equipment one may use to observe the night sky.

I think Fraser has an excellent mix.

That was sort of what I was driving at. The Everything Else in the Universe was a catchall before I added the Totally Off Topic, and I'm tempted to yank it.

Personally, I'd have said the different section headings were pretty self-explanatory... *shrug*

Chook, just to clarify, are you still talking about the forum??
