I’m old school , what’s the point of being an astronomer and staying indoors all night , there’s so much up there to gaze and wonder
My rig is semi auto , I still have check it every 30mins , still have to manually meridian flip etc...
I suppose there is merit in a fully automated system if you work weird hours and must get to sleep before midnight or
your nights are -10C in winter and summers in the tropics with infestation of mosquitoes etc
Many folk just put up with a bit less sleep or the conditions as they have a passion for the hobby whether it’s visually observing or astrophotography
Each to their own !!
So can’t help you with a fully remote automated system
Sorry
