BUT...will your wifi from your house work when your setup is out camping?
No, because WiFi is limited in distance.
BUT, think about this...
If I allowed you access through the web to my computers, and WiFi, you could control my equipment. ;)
Just like I control it from my home office via WiFi.
You would access my home office computer (Log on), then have access to my laptop via my WiFi.
The same as folks buy time on remote access observatories....
I'm not interested in folks operating my equipment for hire. But, I would be interested in experimenting with granting access to some close friends to see if I could make it work, someday.
I came to a Peace about the Internet long, long ago. That it is a place to freely give and take knowledge from.
So I published my writing on, at one time, 6 web service providers (free ones). I had my own little web sites I authored and published, and I had my little meters that shown me they were being accessed, and from where.
That was in the early 1990's, the Internet was very new. And it was before Al Gore claimed it. :roll:
But the point is, and remains so, that I can remotely operate, align, and check my polar alignment, of my little personal Sleepy Dog Observatory ( :lol: ) And if I can, so can anybody else. ;)
You could set up, then retire to the comfort of being inside out of the cold, nearer the hot chocolate, and image your night away. (I do)
Or even do like I did one night on the
Comet Catalina, leave the equipment run, collecting images, and gone to bed. :shock:
Then the next day I processed them into a video with Stellarium, and made a web video with Microsoft Movie Maker that Jim in Albaturkey told me about.
Out at a remote site, I just set up like in the back yard here, but no office computer. Either braving the cold, or retreating to the truck cab with the engine idling for the heater. :lol:
For the
Perseid Meteor Showers I just set my DSLR up and let the Intervalometer run it from nightfall to after the dawn.
I said a little prayer that no Bears, Coyotes, or two legged varmints would find it while I snored the night away.
And while we (my dog alerted to a Coyote passing the tent) listened to a coyote about 4 AM walking by, nothing disturbed the camera rhythmically ticking away outside.
I'm all about EAA. I really like dabbling with my computers and digital toys. And while the Dob Boyz yak about how many targets they observed, us imager's bring home the proof of our travels. ;)
