The advent of high-bandwidth, low-latency networks allows the possibility of observing remotely from sea-level, or indeed from farther afield.

We describe our experiences of instrument set-up and troubleshooting, astronomer training, and of remote observing from the ING sea-level offices, using a VNC client to operate the telescope and instrument control systems, and a high-quality, two-way audiovisual link for communicating with mountain-based staff.
