I am not sure about the terminology. I have in my mind a method that I would like to employ to use SGP remotely.
I want to install SGP on one of those mini computers which I will then connect to the network via Cat6 and then remotely control that SGP from home.
What I would like to see is a server version of SGP that does not display any graphical representation of anything at all. It is just a terminal window or something of that type. Just a bunch of commands like a log scrolling up the screen. This would be least taxing on the small computer. It would assign some sort of way to connect to it via the network/internet and then at HOME I have my 3 big monitors with SGP spread out and it connects to this remote SGP terminal. Everything I do at home is sent through the network to this remote terminal which then executes them.
When dealing with .fits files the remote server would perhaps generate a copy that is reduced in size and is .png or .jpg and send it back through the net. So if I am doing a frame and focus where I want to see what the stars look like, I don't need full size .fits files sent through. A shrunk down 640x480 .png should be just fine. Same with any other thing like plate solves or just the recent image download after stretching. Perhaps I can select what resolution of a .png to send. Also of course I have access by other means to the imaging folder so if I want to I can always copy them to my local computer via the internet.
Anyways the idea is not to have the full graphical program with high res photos on the remote computer so it has plenty of power to run everything it need to run without the overhead.
So this is just a random thought I had perhaps others have an idea that is better thought out.
