I think it is an interesting idea; the SETI search has shown that there is a pool of PC's which can be used for distributed processing; although the pool of CCD's and scopes wouldn't approach that number. Could you put together a proof of concept program to submit? Good luck Bill Biesele JohnRenstrom@Hotmail.com wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the wide variety of scopes, tracking abilities, and CCD imagers out there, it seems like your plan would need a minimum requirements package for those wishing to participate, some fairly good training, and coordination of which areas of the sky are being covered. I suspect there aren't too many of us around with the kinds of imaging skills that would produce worthwhile, consistent image data as a first hurdle to consider.
