I have had an email discussion with Helen Usher in recent weeks about this very topic. For relatively low level engagement, such as a group of 10 year olds, or an informal U3A group, the images and resources do not need to be astrophotography of the year standard, and graphics not NASA-animation standard and I am sure many members would be happy for their images to be used, potentially even without stipulating who took the image, with permission. As long as not for profit, I’d have no issue with any of my images to be used and wouldn’t stipulate that my name be used. But it is a minefield.
Some will say ten year olds are not going to sign up for membership, but the purpose isn’t to drum up membership primarily, the objective is to inspire, educate youngsters, and to help make the work of outreach easier for those members of the BAA who undertake it from time to time. I suspect it also ticks a charity obligation box for the BAA.
Hopefully Helen and her team will get the ball rolling and in time we will see such packages.
