Yes the Open University has a very nice robotic set up on  the top of a dormant volcano on the Island of Tenerife. I get to point it at interesting, low down for my location in Lowestoft,  astro treats.  All for free!  Sadly I cannot take lots of exposures for stacking. This image is from a single exposure.  I had to use lots of AI software to reduce the noise.  COAST is a 17 inch aperture CDK17 corrected Dall-Kirkham telescope to which is attached a FLIProLine KAF-09000 camera.

I have done little astro from Lowestoft as the weather has been absolutely terrible. Hope it is better for you in Georgia!

Hope you are well Reggie. All the best George
