The reason why I mentioned crossover cable was that Greg mentioned just the blue cable and plugging two computers together - no network hub. Are the sockets in your average desktop or laptop capable of "powering" a 50m cable run and are they auto sense or does Greg need a hub as well?
I've gone the other way with all this and bought 20m of a special USB extension (that can run up to 56m). I was sitting inside my camper trailer on the weekend with the scope outside in the heavy dew. Yes they're expensive, but still cheaper than a second PC and networking. They run at full USB 2 speed and I'm driving my QSI, auto guider, mount and Robofocus from a distance.
