He also set up a local network to transmit the photos directly to another computer for processing/checking. When I run mine, I'll also be running EQmod and cartes du ciel to remote control my mount.
Tony, I use a PC stick for live imaging. The PC stick sits on the scope and runs sharpcap, PHD2 and occasionally stellarium. I control this remotely using RDPwrap from a computer inside via wifi.

The only trouble with the PC stick is that it has lousy built-in wifi - so I use a small external wifi usb-dongle on the PC stick.
