Hi
You could use 3G router with keepalives or run a script that sends a small amount of data periodically to keep the link up
You could also program the pc's to wake up at evenings automatically
Other option is to send a magic packet (WOL) over the Internet to wake the pc up
But I'd suggest testing these methods thoroughly before implementing them
Where exactly is the current observatory at?

I'm no expert at remote imaging but there are a number of things you could do
Open the roof automatically when it's clear, download a script for your target run, use plate solving for auto centering, auto focus using focus max and so on
But it removes the fun and sense of achievement with sitting in your obs and running it manually
