Sorry Bert. Why not collect some high resolution luminance and use registar to combine it with your DSLR RGB. OK. ok, I'll stop now. I'm a bad influence.

Its a $US1 per point, but you get more points if you pay out. Its no different to GRAS. I think 14" RC is quite costly compared to the 20" RC. I suspect it could be due to the remote operation running costs at Pingelly, WA. I can't state any figures as there are other factors to consider such as moon illumination discounts. Full moon is always a treat (go berserk) - cheap rates and shoot Ha all night long. Bliss? Rego doesn't cost you anything, so have a squiz around. Don't forget the wide field TOA-150 mmmm. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they operate. In email conversation with Steve, he indicated that their instruments are scripted to perform Skyflats at the PIR angle you image on automatically. This is performed the next clear dawn or dusk. Very cool. Accurate flats, here we come.

...and like GRAS, I'm not affiliated with this guys. Just a user of their services.

Correction. Having just bought some points. The 14" is priced relative to the 20" (slightly cheaper). Sorry for the misleading info.
