.... First post? Nice :D

I'm going to assume that the rules won't be changing much?

Wow, more changes than I expected, atleast more than some past years. I'm happy to see that somebody decided to enter the New General Catalouge; there's multiple NGC objects on the list, which is a real change from last year. And then there's the North America Nebula, which is my favorite emission nebula, although it's incorrectly called the North American Nebula on the powerpoint... There's also the Helix Nebula.... which just happens to be my "avatar" thing

It looks like the event got a lot harder, glad I'm no longer in 8th grade. =)

Yeah, it depends on the school. Personally, I started Division C in 9th grade. Wolfy, if you think Reach is harder this year, I can guarantee you it'll get harder than that in Astronomy, if you plan on doing it eventually. ;)

Meh, for me, astronomy-related events are EXTREMELY easy. Summer before 7th grade, I was absolutely obsessed with astronomy. Also, is there a really major theme this year?

I don't know if there is ever a "theme" other than "astronomy". But I'm really looking forward to this year--NGC catalog! And those radiation laws...yessss. It's just the HR diagrams that bother me.
