Thanks for all the tips everyone!!! VNC is a little bit difficult. The obs is not in my back yard and actually its internet connection is strange. I don't have a public IP so I cant port forward vnc traffic easily. I can't even ping its gateway address from outside that net.
I have a small linode server on the internet and a raspberry pin in the observatory opening a reverse ssh tunnel out to that. So I can ssh into the observatory from the internet by using this linode as a jumphost. Painful yes.... Teamviewer is useful in that your target machine just needs internet access and not a public ip. It uses teamviewer's servers as an intermediary. I guess I could also tunnel vnc traffic back through the linode too..

I'll try nomachine and anydesk thanks!!
