What is the name of the group? I cannot see anything right now, does it need moderation to become visible?

Astrobin Community Survey.  I can see the threads on the front page.  But, of course, that doesn't mean I haven't done something wrong.

I can’t find it either: perhaps you created a private group instead of a public one.

I only see an empty, white page. Can you check if the group is nor marked private or similar?

Definitely private (can’t check right now). @Brian Boyle you can change that using the Edit menu on the groups page.

Finally some clear weather after almost a month of storms. Managed to grab 2 fields last night and hopefully two more tonight.

@Brian Boyle

    I love the idea, but IMHO the real data gap is between 1200mm and  2000mm.

As soon as I get my CDK 12.5", I'll gladly contribute, I'm intending on doing various deep fields specifically of Abell Clusters in IR and Visible.

@David Redwine@V.M Legary   Thank you for your interest.  ThE ABC survey was designed around 100-200mn focal lengths., so we could cover the entire sky in a reasonable time,   After a year was have over 2/3rds of the southern sky completed, although only 10% of the northern sky.  This reflects, in part the difficulty of accessing dark skies in the northern hemisphere.   A survey at other focal lengths would  no doubt be useful, but I will leave others to organize!

Absolutely, I'd go as far to say you could integrate an "enhanced view" using overlays of higher focal length images of notable objects as a modified version of the survey over the main HIPS, like how the standard Stellarium view without HIPS or DSS handles DSO's.
