LX90 REMOTE CONTROL

#1

Post by BRUCE J »


Hey Folks:
I'm at the point now where controlling my LX90 from my living room seems like a pretty nice gig.
I'm betting this inquiry has been asked and answered before.
I'm sure this means a camera, cabling, FW upgrade, sw and other stuff is necessary.
If one of you nice folks could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
Great to be here !
Thanks for your time,

Hello Bruce

My telescope is controlled from a PC in the Observatory in the back garden connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable from the house. That controls the Mount, the camera, the focuser and the filter wheel using NINA. Once I'm set up with an imaging run underway I go indoors and fire up TeamViewer from my laptop connected to the same home network. A lot of people use Remote PC, you need Windows Professional for that.

Judging by your avatar you should be able to handle the technical side of things! I'm a newbie electronics dabbler after working with HV for the last 40 years, now retired!

Let us know how you get on. Welcome to the forum.

Regards

Graeme
