For be it for me to knock what seems to be a successful idea but at a certain point, putting so many telescopes into the same place starts to seem a bit odd in that many of them are presumably pointing at the same things at the same time. This given the fact that there are 110 Messier objects and perhaps a dozen other things (planets mostly) that would be of much interest to astrophotographers.
Might be more efficient to get a large group to go in on bigger telescopes 'til you have enough of them that no matter what single thing you want to photograph, there'll be something pointed that way that's bigger than what you could afford on your own. Astrophotography isn't really about that of course but at a certain point this doesn't seem too different than reprocessing data from an observatory.
