Hi everyone...I'm a Canadian astrophotographer with an imaging observatory in rural skies in southern Ontario. The obs can be seen on my webpage
www.nightoverontario.com

I'm wondering if anyone is interested, or knows of anyone interested in trading some imaging time between my obs and one in Australia or New Zealand ?
You could image during the day in the Northern hemisphere...and when you're tucked away at night I can go online and snap pics of the southern skies.
Its just a thought right now...my equipment is remote to my house and that could be easily connected to the web.
Sounds like a fun idea, and would be a free and easy way to visit each other's skies and...get some sleep !
Let me know what you think
Cheers
Lynn

Sounds like a great idea, the TEC 140 would be a nice piece of gear to have access to.
Unfortunately my setup doesn't compare or I'd be keen on this!

Thanks for the reply Peter. We are just taking baby steps at this point to fathom the interest. Still need to figure out secure web connections, and my setup is not totally remote controlled...still have to manually open the roof and switch on power, etc.
I would like to match up gear to some extent.
Anyway we'll see what interest there may be. Anyone keen on discussing can send me a private email.
Cheers
Lynn
