I'm excited to have my second ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope set up at a remote observatory in Texas. I am accessing it via an on-site MacMini(M2) running the Seestar IOS app. I sure spent a lot of time trying to find information on controlling the Seestar remotely and was coming up empty. Most people said it could not be done. So I am posting this as a resource for anyone looking to do the same.
I love my Seestar, but I live in the suburbs of South Florida with many cloudy nights and light pollution. The Seestar does great from my back patio, but I wanted to push the unit a bit more in a darker environment. This observatory claims to have a bortle 1 night sky! However, when I look on LP maps, it shows it as a Bortle 2. Anyway, it's a lot darker than my Bortle 7 patio.
See attached picture of my Seestar mounted on a pier.

And like clockwork work the new equipment curse has been hitting me hard. Since I was set up at the remote site, it has been cloudy!! The pain is real. Previous to this they had 16 days of absolute clear night skies.
Well I hope this helps.
