How do you store so much data? Do you all have expensive computers? External hard drives? 1,000 free Onedrive accounts?

Cheers,

SSDs have come down in price so you can hot swap them. If you do deepsky you won't need as much storage as if you do solar or planetary as Ken mentioned. On a typical night of planetary imaging I do 250GB/hour.
