A lot of members have had a bit to say about rent a scope images.
Check out the following threads. I think they highlight some of the issues or concerns with both The David Malin Awards and the SPSP photo competition.

Offended..??

moi? Never

like emails, posts can often be missinterpreted pretty easily so no hard feelings on this one
I just think you and others who think that only high end equipment will guarantee you success in the Malin's are wrong, sorry
Hopefully many people will keep entering images in the DM's using what ever equipment they have and it all stays a bit of healthy competiton
