Anyone know what happened to the Internet Interferometer? I saw the website maybe in the late 90s I wanted to participate but a servo controlled telescope with digital camera was needed to join/participate. Maybe it was just someone's idea. Lots of home telescopes would sync up and look at the same part of the sky, and blend it into one image as if the telescope was huge. I didn't have the money back then, and I think there was a membership fee, or proof you had a capable telescope. Would like to see the images it generated if it ever did get up and running. I've tried looking for it a few times in the last couple years, can't find it. There's a few really big ones, but those belong to institutions. Just feels different to have a community one.
