I have an 8GB Pi 4 successfully running Stellarmate / Ekos with a direct Erhernet cable connected to my Windows laptop using a VNC connection.
Is it possible to place another Raspberry Pi in between my laptop and my StellarMate, and still have my VNC Connection, or would a router be necessary? VNC ran much slower for me when I experimented with a router last time.
I’d like to have the original PI run Ekos / StellarMate, and have the 2nd one monitor a shared folder with images, and run ASTAP to stack the images as they appear in the folder.
I don't see why this would be an issue.
Windows would run VNC on one Raspberry Pi and then could VNC into another.
So the second Raspberry Pi is being controlled by the first.
However, it may be best to just control both from separate VNC's from one machine.
