normally i do astrophotography from my light polutted backyard but i recently joined telescope.live
You pick the target you want and they send you the data from it. You have the choice of either using data they have already acquired or you can choose a target they haven't shot it and have them get the data.
they send you the raw data for you to process any way you choose. with astrophotography processing is the key since the actual photo coming from the telescope if pretty much completely dark.
Ive tried to shoot this target from my backyard but with the heavy light polluiton i have there is no way i can shoot it,the nebula is just to faint. so i used telescope.live equipment,in this case a 10cm telescope located in australia. I had them send me 12 hours of raw data from the target.
this is the result of my processing.
