Is there a way to have images upload to my Vphot account during the night as they are made?

I know that one of our clients, iTelescope, is able to do this from our site so I assume there is some magic that allows it.

Hi Geoff:

Yes and No! iTelescope does utilize an alternate upload pathway, although it is not quite real-time. The VPhot Team has discussed this issue but currently this process remains unavailable to the general user population. The issue of image pre-processing and quality, or lack thereof, is one major concern. We will advise, if and when, this process changes.
