There are any number of photographic images out there that "capture the moment".
This does not require you built the camera, did the D&P and showcased the image.
Astro-imaging requires a little more....
Polar alignment, focus, composition, framing, guiding (often for hours), data reduction etc. etc... a bit more like cinema!
Oscar winning movies are the result of a collaboration. Sure, being a Spielberg or Jackson helps in "knowing" what might deliver an Oscar.... but to claim this as "all my own work" is a long bow indeed.
If all you want to do is create a great cinema or astro-image...there is no "cheating"
But I'd suggest the resulting image(s) need to acknowledge those that contributed in the credits....
Just my 2 cents worth...
