I can try that.  Some algorithms don't work well on .jpg, such as plate-solve or star-detection (which I need to find the focus star in the first place.) But maybe I can play with that.

You're right, it's exactly that that I'm looking for.  Maybe I could crop the image with another tool, before I transfer it.

It's not just the network, it's also other processing being done at each end.  A smaller image would be faster for everything.

It's a DSLR body attached to a telescope, so there is no Nikon lens, just an electronic telescope focuser.
