Sounds like a really interesting potential project. I've been pondering a system that would make amateur observations usable beyond pretty pictures. Single frames captured could be shared in raw form along with metadata (time, coords, calibration frames), potentially allowing aggregators to process it for scientific research (or even prettier pictures). The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is now able to capture the entire southern hemisphere in a couple of days. Imagine having our capturing software contributing to a planet-wide crowdsourced telescope array.
