I'm a Founder Member of Slooh. The online observatory which to date has had an observatory in the Canary Islands. I've always loved the idea of being able to see sky objects that I couldn't otherwise observe and have been a big user.
It's made me into a bit of a night owl though because to date the only site was in the Canary Islands (I live in the UK). The site of course has a US focus. I'm really pleased that they are now opening sites in Australia and Chile to allow someone anywhere in the world to observe the night sky at any time.
This is true innovation because it will advance the already strong tradition of amateur astronomy and open the hobby to many more people, roll on 2008 !
