I moved your thread to the new Remote Imaging forum Dan.
Why the move to Remote? While 1,200 miles away, it is no more remote than my driveway setup that I control from inside? It is all my equipment under my control...
I mostly do solar from home because I live 300 feet from a major mall and 600 feet from a 24 hour factory, my skies are bortle 8, on a really dark night I can see 5 stars! Also I have 60 degrees of sky due to trees, even solar I can only see the sun for about 90 minutes a day just before the meridian.
as far as traveling I am a disabled vet and have severe problems with my legs as well as heart issues so I have trouble traveling. I try to do astronomy from here but it is a real challenge.
I might not always be right but I am never wrong, once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken...

Fair point well made! I'll take it to the team to clarify the criteria for posts in the Remote Imaging Forum.

I want to apologize for the previous post, I totally missed the point that you were making, that you image from home. I thought you were asking why people would image remotely. Now I see you were asking why your thread was moved.
Once again I apologize
