A little off topic, I am running SGP, ASCOM, and all my imaging capture and plate solving sw on a small (deck of cards sized) Windows10 PC called a Kangaroo. It is only 2GB RAM and 32GB SSD. but has an internal battery, and cost me $129 including the windows operating system, and expansion dock, for the USB ports, external 12V supply. I velcro it to the OTA, with a micro USB hub and connect to the camera, guider, mount, and focuser with short (18") usb cables. The Kangaroo has built in wifi, so I just connect to it with VNC from my laptop in the comfort of the Tent, RV, or Home. It also has an external SD card slot, where I store my captured images, and mount that disc over the network to access the files from the main PC. SGP works great with that device. Granted, indi support with a Pi would be a little cheaper solution, and you can have the processing power of the main PC , relying on the indi server for local device control only. But in the mean time...
