Remote deep sky imaging!

For most people until recently has been inaccessible for many reasons, cost being the biggest. For this reason it's always been an imaging tool for the few rather than the many. So we decided to do something about this and opened our own multi pier remote observatory with reasonable rates for the whole world to use.
