How do you know how many bytes this thing will upload? It's a high resolution telescope, as in large photos. Compressed or uncompressed (and I'm going to assume most astronomers worth their weight in salt would take their images RAW over JPG), high resolution pictures of our cosmos could easily take terrabytes of space. In the future, keep your quite stupid statements to yourself.
