First steps to remote astrophotography: VNC and N.I.N.A

 

My set up with N.I.N.A and VNC


With the installation of VNC (Virtual Network Computing - VNC Server and VNC Viewer) I'm able to remotely operate my telescope. This means that my laptop with all related software is connected to the telescope (mount, camera, guiding,..) and remotely connected to a second laptop inside the house. 

In the meatime I'm making progress with N.I.N.A (Nighttime Imaging 'N' Astronomy) and I'm able to use platesolving with pictures made earlier this week. 

Awaiting clear skies to have a real live session with all captured learnings.
