    With the ownership of AC by AA I am quite surprised by the degree of inactivity on this great site.

    In the past several months since I began posting here, I have seen less than a handful of members posting on this site.

    There are a lot of bots and guests but at the most I see myself and occasionally 1 other member online.

    Let's support CA and join in with interesting questions and replies to fellow members!

    I am not sure what you mean by new ownership, the site has always been owned/ run by AgenaAstro.
    There are many people from the most common forums already signed up here but due to various circumstances they have not posted in a long while.
    There is little promotion of the site and little interaction with administrator(s)/ moderator(s).
    Without interaction with the 'staff' and members there is no site personality to interact with.
    Unfortunate as this could be a excellent community.

    Several years ago there was an issue with the AC website. This persisted for way too long, and by the time it was corrected we lost many/most of the active members. It was quite by accident that I found out the issues had been fixed and I could be active again. I was also very happy to see a few of the old members on the site.

    Over the years my interest has shifted from observing to imaging. Because the weather has been so horrible I have not had opportunity to image. Even daytime solar has become elusive. Additionally, with age, physical constraints and changing priorities my time for astronomy is somewhat more limited.

    I really would like to put all of my imaging equipment to good use and turn out some good deep sky and solar system images to share with everyone.
