I also use the new Meade flip-mirror system for finding and centering the target, and a f/6.3 focal reducer as well as an Optec MaxField f/3.3 reducer.  The Starlight Xpress MX5/16 CCD camera is also controlled by a Pentium PC in the observatory.  I use the Starlight STAR2000 software to autoguide the scope when making long duration images, and AstroArt to control the CCD camera (usually during focusing) and process the raw images.

In the summer 2000, I installed a fast ethernet (100 Mbps) home network between the observatory computer and another in my house (located about 200 feet away).  At present I can remotely control both the telescope functions and the CCD camera, just as if I were in the observatory.  The system works fantastically well, and I hope to expand my wintertime use of the system at times when it's just too cold to sit outside!
