I was going to make a couple of clamps to fit the VESA bracket that comes with each NUC to the eyepiece tray, then have the NUC right side up on that, I was just thinking about how to cover it, I reckon a tupperware tub with some slots to run cables through will be the ticket, with a dot of velcro to keep it form blowing off if it gets windy.

I am redoing my power system too, it seems that my 12V supply holds up pretty well under load so I am going to put a small SLA battery in a case with it and cable the both of them out to panel mount DT connectors for the gear and maybe a couple of lighter socket profile USB ports to keep phones and so on going. Maybe a voltmeter as well. The battery really only being there to float it over any instances of power cords getting kicked out at star parties, or circuit breaker trips. Been there done that at star parties, only an irritant for visual use but pretty bad times for imagers when all their mounts die at once.
