As Tandum has mentioned in this thread, I have put up a couple of UHF TV dishes and beam my wireless the 100 metres from house to Obs with ease - also allows me access to my internet connection from the Obs which I find helpful at times of 'inactivity'. Also have found I can finish a night of imaging and then let the system load the several gigs of subs across to my NAS while I get some sleep.
The only downside I have noticed is that I sometimes seem to induce PHD guiding errors if I logon from the house while the Obs PC is running everything. It's a 2.8 GHz dual-core Pentium machine but some programs seem to hog almost all its resources at different times. Nebulosity is a main culprit. I run EQMOD, Cartes de Ciel, PHD and Nebulosity together and it seems that RD will sometimes interrupt one or more of them sufficiently to seriously interfere with guiding.
