Linux controlling a Windows 10 imaging laptop running AstroDMx Capture for Windows

A motor-focuser-adapted Bresser Messier AR 102xs f/4.5 ED refractor was mounted on the HEQ5 Synscan GOTO mount in the observatory. Using a 2" adapter, a Canon EOS 4000D DSLR was placed at the prime focus of the refractor. The DSLR was USB tethered to the observatory Windows 10 imaging laptop running Nicola's AstroDMx Capture for Windows.

The Windows 10 imaging computer in the observatory was running a Tight VNC server and the Fedora Linux laptop used to control the Windows imaging computer was running the Remmina VNC client.
