Messier imaging - will start again

I was going to ask whether using remote "subscription" scopes would be acceptable for this award as I have imaged all 110 objects with the Slooh telescope array. I am a big proponent of remote scopes since my stroke and other health issues, however on consideration I decided that I will do the award with my own gear from both my Bortle 7.5-8 backyard and my astronomy clubs site (www.theskyscrapers.org) I have more than 30 images of the Messiers that I have taken over the last few years and will start with those and then do more.
I have been doing mostly solar imaging, you may have seen my stuff on the solar imaging thread. I have been looking for something that will get me out behind the scope and this is it.
I do a much better job with the Slooh images vs. my own pitiable attemps, amazing what big scopes and really dark skies can do vs my setup.
