  1. Don’t forget Slooh, it could also be another nail in the coffin. Why freeze your butt off or be eaten alive by mosquitoes when you can control a C14 on a Paramount in the Canary Islands. Granted the setting are pretty basic but they do have plans to support advanced image, FITS files etc. Not to mention Slooh 2 in Chile should come online this fall.
