Thats fantastic Brent, congratulations on your progress. Once you have your obs running you'll wonder how you ever did without!
I have everything controlled from the laptop now, except the roof and also no goto on the mount itself. It means I only need to go out, open the roof, point the scope at my target, focus, start guiding and away it goes
Then I keep an eye on things via remote desktop on the iPhone while we can eat, watch a movie etc, it really helps with keeping SWMBO happy
Or if I'm in front of the PC I'll keep an eye from there of course. It takes about 10 minutes all up to get it going and 5 minutes to shut down before heading to bed. If I'm imaging something really faint and exotic then my lack of goto means I'll typically spend longer finding the target initially, but I don't mind that, I like the old fashioned way of star hopping.
Looking forward to hear about your further progress.
