Imaging across the internet is a very interesting concept too - who does all the setup , changing filter wheels, focusing, etc?
All the scopes have motorised filter wheels and they are changed as part of the image run that you set. i.e. Which filter, how many images, etc. Pretty much the way I do it here. Focusing is digital and is set automatically with each filter change. I have that capability here too, but not accurately enough to use the setpoints. An internet-based system needs to be very tight and accurate with respect to pointing, tracking and focusing.
