Hi Tim,
I started with a good laptop solution like you and then moved to a powerful on scope PC to run the usual SGP and PHD2. It was a very fast, expensive, heavy and power hungry solution.?So I

Wow! Beautiful Images Jamie!
Heck of a nice dew shield you made, too!
Is that a Richey- Cretian telescope? Drool...

Re: G11 Gemini II ASIAIR
If you're using a RPI4 with a flirc case you can just cut the end out and the wifi works great. That's where the antenna is: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rWs48oGhY5yFUaTw5 I imagine that you could cut a

Thank You Brian!
I did open mine to 30 pixels, more as an experiment.

Re: multi-star PHD2!
Thanks! I'm getting a lot of photos done with the hyperstar. I really don't need fantastic guiding for it, because it's so fast and wide, but I like everything running at optimal just because I guess.

Re: multi-star PHD2!
I think that I was using 30 pixels for the search box. I was worried in the past that phd2 would get lost if it had too many pixels to search through -- I have no idea if there is any validity to this
