Hi all,
I've been working on an idea of late to help promote the hobby and make it a little more accessible, and would love some feedback.
I am building a website based around a marketplace where members can buy and sell their data. As part of the membership I will provide 2 sets of data per month for free, and they can be used however you wish, once you process the data you own the image. Based on those 2 sets of data there will also be monthly processing competitions, where you could win Astrophotography gear.
The whole point is to promote the hobby to people who struggle with the hefty costs, but also to increase what we can image ie, if you have a wide field setup, you can purchase data from someone who has a long focal length. DSLR and One shot colour imagers can use someone's HA data to boost detail.
The web page is
www.stacklebag.com and I'm currently running a
kickstarter campaign to try and get the webpage off the ground.
Any feedback would be great.
Cheers
George
