OK, this is now implemented (including highlighting and observation  
rules, scripting, etc.) as an Observed field in the resource  
combinations list. If one or more of those entries are marked as  
Observed, the the observation is considered "Observed" (i.e. you were  
able to see the object with at least one combination of telescope,  
eyepiece, etc.).

However, an observation is still an observation (whether the object  
was "observed" or not). Hence, the number of observations remains the  
same.

Perhaps we can debate changing "Observed" to "Detected", "Seen", etc.
