Wifi control via Smartphone app would also be an option instead of cables and laptop. If you're not into astrophotography but only do visual then not having to use a laptop in the dew outside could be more convenient?

Those apps act like a bridge in the background between a planetarium app and a Wifi-extension on the mount.
Wifi-extension also work with laptops, of course.

Not sure which but there is an app or maybe more than one that reacts on tilting your smartphone. The direction you tilt, the direction the mount moves.
So you not only have buttons on the screen which can be a pain I understand bc you can hardly control them in the blind but have to look at the screen each time you want to manually move the mount.

Maybe a Wifi adapter can be added to your mount, as well?
