There would, of course, be limits set, as to magnitude and size of objects, however the use of Star Port as an observing aid would not be permitted.
Using a 10" f/5.6 Dobsonian telescope (for example) equipped only with a Telrad, representatives from each country would have to find a certain number of objects in a given 10° area of sky (to be identified at the beginning of the event), whereby the observer with the most identified (and perhaps even sketched) objects, would take home the Gold Medal, followed of course by the Silver and Bronze Medals.
Suggestions for rules and other guidelines, are currently being considered by the IOC, and can be sent to the Society's Email address
Nominations are also being considered at this stage, and once again, these can be emailed to the Society, and should be received by no later than the last day of SPSP2000.0.
