What operating system do you have on the obs computer? The one at our local obs uses XP pro, which has the "remote desktop" feature. So I can control this computer from the one in the warming room.
Earlier/simpler operating systems didn't have this, but you can use "VNC" software instead. But that's not nearly as efficient, so controls are sluggish when operating remotely. So CdC and the imaging software are both on the obs computer, but I set the imaging software to send the images straight to the other computer when they come in from the camera, so I can process them as the scope is taking further exposures. -John ----- Original Message ---- > From: mcbbcn <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sun, March 7, 2010 12:03:33 AM > Subject: [skychart-discussion] CDC Server? > > Hi, Is there a CDC server?
