Here is an update..
I wired up my scope yesterday and it wasnt as straight forward as i thought.
I had a 10 port powered USB hub that managed 2 USB to serial adaptors, the ORION USB CCD Imager and the DMK51.
It all worked when i had the hub directly connected to PC but when i had a USB to ethernet cable extension placed the CCD imagers would not work but the serials devices continued to work. Even with a 1m ethernet extender cable installed it would not work.
The wireless attempt was even worse.
The devices were discovered on the network but could not be negotiated with. Kept getting unknown errors and operation time outs...
So in conclusion i would have to go with what Rally mentioned and place a dedicated PC like Fit-PC that handles all the telescope devices and can be controlled remotely through a program like VNC Viewer..
I still need to find myself a USB 7 Position filterwheel to have the setup complete.
I Will keep you posted on how things progress.
Take care everyone..
John
