Thanks for the suggestion! This seems like a cool idea, and it would have some similarities to the existing support in the Windows application for control of local telescopes via ASCOM. Another relevant service might be the MicroObservatory, which is based out of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian like myself.
Perhaps as a first step, we could look into these services and investigate how they distribute images — if they don’t already, we might want to see whether they can start using AVM tags and VAMP feeds, which would be the best technologies for making it straightforward to view their images in WWT using existing features.
