Thanks, Patrick. The nice thing about the old Gallery was that everyone's astro-related photos were all in one place. The bad thing about image hosting Websites is that, not only do you need a different bookmark for everyone, but chances are good that you'll have to weed through the non-astro stuff that's posted there alongside the "good" stuff. The convenience and utility of the old Gallery were undeniable. What kind of space do you think would be needed for a new one? A TB or so?

Hi Chuck,
As it happens you are the second one today to ask about the gallery (the other enquiry was off list).
I think it's safe to say the gallery as we knew it is gone for good.
However, SLAS members are welcome to send images to the SLAS webmaster and he will post them to the SLAS Picture Gallery ( http://slas.us/GALLERY.HTM ).
I seem to remember that OAS members have a similar gallery on their site.
There is a plan to eventually have the SLAS gallery set up similar to the old UA gallery that will allow SLAS members to bypass the webmaster and post images themselves but I don't know when that is going to come to pass.
In the interim some are posting their images on their own personal sites and other have started posting their images to commercial online sites.
If someone here has the server space and is willing to set up a new UA gallery please speak up.
