I did the easy thing and gave all 3 entries a "5". -------------------- Dirt Cheap Astronomy Voyager 114X900 Newt EQ2 * Sky Chief 60X700 EQ1 * Cometron 62X300 EQ1 Sears Ultra Wide 7X50 Binos * Vintage 16X50 Binos EQ1 Books, Barlows, Eyepieces, Camera Adaptors & Other Esoteric Junk.

Think of it as similar to a cooking contest - lots of different dishes prepared in different ways, but they still get judged and one wins.. -------------------- NexStar 11 GPS Orion SkyView Pro 8EQ w/ Autostar 15x70 Celestron SkyMasters Orion 90mm Mak Post Extras:       Ben Ritchie Lost in Space Reged: 01/31/05 Posts: 4210 Loc: Bosham, UK Re: Imaging Contest Discussion - March [Re: Greg K.]       #912674 - 04/15/06 05:45 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   My feeling is that the sketching entries will suffer a bit, because they don't have the immediate visual impact of images - it's easy to forget how darn hard it is to get a good sketch. I gave them all 5 too -------------------- Astro-Physics 130EDT StarFire/TeleVue 60is/Astro-Physics 1200GTO/SBIG ST-4000XCM 80ED/HEQ5Pro, lots of other stuff...

But we have alot of talented sketchers and I'm betting that they'll have their share of wins over time. -------------------- Erika 10" LX200 Classic, ETX70-AT, DS Maxscope 60mm, 12" Truss Dob, Orion ED80, WO Binoviewers, 10x50's and 7x50's Binoculars, Rebel XT 350 Having Fun in the Sun!
