Thanks H0ughy,

My question is simple.
Can I use Star Atlas Pro remotely with Windows Remote Desktop?
I currently run all my telescope software in the observatory on an XT Pro PC when I connect remotely with my laptop using Windows Remote Desktop all the software works perfectly except Starry Night Pro which uses OpenGL. It appears that OpenGL is not fully compatible with Windows remote desktop.
If Star Atlas Pro dosn't use OpenGL then it will most likely be OK and I will purchase the it.
I do not wish to use VNC as windows is much quicker and better looking screen quality.
I am getting ready for winter and want to be able to control the telescope in the observatory from my warm loungeroom.

Regards

Wazza
