Hi, I currently have an astrophotography rig comprising a Skywatcher ED80 with a Zwo Asi1600mmPro camera. Guide scope with Altair gpcam130c all mounted on an HEQ5Pro Mount. This is all controlled remotely via a usb2.0 powered hub and 15m usb cable to my pc in the house.
I am planning an observatory but this will be approximately 25m from my Pc in the house.
As more and more kit is now usb3.0 I would like to control my pc, still from the house but if I were to use a powered usb3 cable and hub there would be, effectively, 6 hubs in the chain and Windows will only allow 5 maximum.
Does anyone out there have a setup similar to this with an observatory with a remote pc? I am considering usb to Ethernet/Ethernet to usb, has anyone tried this and does it work?
Any suggestions for using my pc in the house to control the rig in the observatory, down the garden would be very much appreciated.
