Fred, never thought of it that way!....and you are right!
It doesn't make sense to discount all the aspects of instrument set-up eg:
Polar alignment
Colimination
Guider calibration
camera configuration (eg correct spacing) etc etc.
None of which can be done remotely and by definition must have been done by someone else.....hence "all my own work" *cannot be claimed by the entrant....remote users don't have to know one end of a telescope from another.
Just hand over the $ and click here.
