Apart from a few IT issues, it's all there.

But let me be clear, I did not start this thread because I have a problem with remote data collection. I can be used to gather some superb imagery...as I illustrated, anyone can download Hubble fits data and process it to their hearts content, and it won't cost you a zac.

You can also pay for data from some pretty slick commercial...in essence..pay per view operators....and also get some great images.

But this is not for me. As for the underlying issue of contest entries and their validity, I wasn't really wanting to raise that old chestnut again.

There are clearly many ways to get great data. Pay per view, pro-data archives, access of you own remote setup, collaborations, or your own backyard scope. I guess it's simply a case of whatever suits the individual.
