Yep, I guess it's about whatever makes you feel most comfortable. For me I like the configuration and depth of the programs I'm using, But that comes with the caveat that there are more ways to mess things up too.
Speaking of which, I finally got my system working as follows.
Remote Desktop is the weapon of choice. At home I just connect both of them to the house WIFI and they discover each other just fine.
I did have some difficulties with my dark sky site setup in that hotspots wanted there to be an internet connection available before they'd connect.
So I bought a $50 TP-Link travel router. Configured to 'Access Point' mode it works like a charm (as long as you turn off windows defender on the telescope computer - which is fine as it's not going to be connected to the internet) and runs off a spare USB port.
So I'm pretty darn happy at the moment. Yet to do any actual photography with the new setup, but you know, baby steps.
Cheers
Markus
