: The purpose of this group would be to post pictures of an astronomical or
: space interest.

: It would not be for posting old pictures which can be found in JPL
: databases, but rather a place where amateur astromers could post the best
: of their pictures such as new comet photos or other such stuff.

: I could also be a place where newsworth photos, such as those taken of
: the recent comet impact on Jupiter could be posted. Other examples might
: be selected photos from the Gailleo probe which will be at Jupiter soon.
