Yep, sounds like it's going to be a more expensive version of just downloading images from the HST website
BTW, I finished up with two used C8's, one which I can keep Hyperstar configured, and another for plain and FR work, if I can ever get it collimated. Longer term plan is, if I like the results from the C8's, to buy a used C11 + HS for bigger photon bucket, and sell the two C8's. Having two C11's may be a bit over the top though
Cheers,
