I hope no-one was offended by my earlier post.. It was a very tounge-in-cheek comment based on the frustration I/we all have in getting astro-imaging setups working!
The rent-a-scope is a great idea, and I'm sure it will be a growth industry. Especially as it can make night time skies virtually a 24hr thing. We can rent-a-scope in Mexico during the day and do the real stuff at night..
You still can't beat getting out there and observing/imaging yourself to truely appreciate what amature astronomy (& the universe awe) is all about.
Top image Eddie, but I'm sure you understand my comment of not being sure who to credit fully
Mike,
I think they have robots that walk around changing filters etc on the scope
PS. I wonder what happens when you rent-a-session that is cloudy? Or perhaps it's never cloudy in Mexico.
Cheers
