Most of whatever time I get in my obsy is plagued by next door's dogs and itinerant mozzies.
I hate the smell of rid...
So, once I had established the eqmod system and Cartes du Ciel I decided to go for remote control.
The biggest problem I found wasn't the distance (70 metres) as I have the cable and crimper for a local network.
The problem was Microsoft. They don't include the software for a LAN.
I tried for two days before I fount that you can't do it with win8.1 home version.
Back to the web.
Came up with teamview which not only connected instantly on wifi (short distance), once I had told it to go on lan, it fed me an ip and a password for each laptop then connected me.
It only took two trips down the garden for corrections before a whole rig run proved the system.
Now I can fire up then relax in my computer room with a coffee while I shuffle round the galaxy.
Thank you teamview for a simple and effective solution that kicks MS into a cocked hat.
