If there is an issue with your mount that requires local attendance, then I just close the laptop in the house and boot up the mount laptop. You can’t have both laptops open as one has to access the other.
I just figured that the house laptop has full control and use over the mini laptop.
So if you need to slew, or stop slewing, stop imaging or anything, you could do it from the house laptop.
As the mini pc won't have any screen, keyboard, mouse e.t.c
I just think i miss understood what you were saying possibly.

Pete,
Yes that’s correct
The inside house laptop is the Master control of the mount once Remote Desktop is opened and initiated. The laptop at the mount just gets put in sleep mode with a Lock Screen.
Once on Remote Desktop inside the house you have full capabilities
Tracking and Goto
Slewing
Stopping
Return to home or park position
Sync point alignment or plate solving
Set up Capture Plan
Framing and auto focusing
Guiding and dithering
Changing filters on filter wheel
And so on ………..
If you need to go to the mount for any reason and test something locally with your mount laptop, you must close Remote Desktop on the House laptop first then go outside and boot up the Mount laptop. You don’t need to shutdown the house laptop, just close Remote Desktop on it.
Hope that helps
Cheers
Martin
