Thanks Rally for your informative reply. I guess that I could achieve the same result by using TeamViewer to connect the two PCs. But I was hoping to move the laptop itself away from the telescope site for a few reasons :
  • get it out of the weather (dew, etc.)
  • minimise screen light pollution when the telescope is sited with other visual telescopes at a public outreach session
  • more convenient access to mains power rather than using portable power
I wondered if there is some reasonably priced wirelessly linked product that could sit on/by the telescope mount and to which the camera and the SynScan hand control could be connected so allowing the programs on the laptop to control them in the usual way.
