I just posted this on CN just so I could get as much info as I could.
The other alternative is IF they make a central power distribution block. However I would like to eliminate the mini router and GPS would be nice.

Bringing up an old thread here...
?
Been working a lot lately and found my way to Carlsbad NM for work. Haven't posted here in a while either......
I'm planning on taking my Losmandy G11 with me and have been seriously considering converting from an Intel NUC to ASI air or Sstellarmate Pro. I finally pulled the trigger on an ASI2600 and will be using a large battery bank for power.
?
One of my concerns with the current setup with adding the 2600, is the power connections (losmandy/nuc/2600/router). I would have to be creative with the various power supply distribution.
Next is that if I have an issue with the NUC, I have no monitor per-se. Right now, I remote desktop in on my local network.
I also need a mini router for bridging the gap.
?
It is my understanding that ASI and stellarmate creates its own WIFI, eliminating the need for a mini router? Is this correct?
I like the power distribution both offer and is one of the most important factors.
?
Finally since this is an older thread, I will ask again. Will both of these work with the Gemini 2 V6?

IME I don't recommend the Stellarmate, too many issues.? If you have the money, a lot of money and feel more comfortable in a Windows environment look at the Primaluce Eagle computers.? Not cheap and they have some issues but overall a high performance option for the people deep, deep pockets.? Even the lowest model will cost you nearly $1,500 and only has an old mobile Celeron with 8GB RAM which in a Windows 11 machine is crippling.? The first real useable version has an Intel Core i5 with 16GB and comes in at $2,500.? The problem is the Eagles don't do anything significantly more or better than an ASIAIR Plus.? ??
?
If you are happy on the mini-PC and know the apps you could just stick with that and maybe update to streamline the system a bit.?
