Generally it all runs without interference, as i use SGP to manage the imaging activity sequence, including alerting me if needed. When the evening session is over the Acer comes back in the house to become the processing platform, and files, once processed, are moved onto an external 3TB drive.
Keep it simple, and make sure you have updates turned off at all times.

G'day Glen.
The Obs is about 200 meters away from the house. I had once had a pair of dishes - one on the Obs feeding into a Router and an Access Point - to which each computer was connected. And in the house, the second dish connected back to the wireless router. The router connection was actually connected to one of the two antennae on the router. It wasn't hooked into any Ethernet cables so the dish just amounted to an external antenna for that router and so it sent and received to/from the setup in the Obs. Then the house router died and I was too cheap to buy a new one. Instead, I went back to the good old LinkSys router I'd had sitting in the back of the cupboard. Of course, it had no external antennae. So the Obs gear became a bit redundant. I could always revitalize all that gear but I'd like to find a simpler way if I could.
I realize that is asking a bit much, and I kinda know that I'm going to have to go back to the good old system. BUt I just hoped .....
