We are looking for the widest possible range of connections to the sky. That is, we are not only looking to include, say, observatories, planetaria and stargazing locations, but also the widest possible range of ways in which places may have celestial connections.
The following rules are established to support the Portal project team in their task to guide you with your individual submission. If you are in doubt about these rules and your situation, please do not hesitate to contact the PC2S team to clarify them.
