Hey Carlton,
There are lots of options depending on what you want to do....that’s the bit I’m unclear about.
Do you want a wired connection to your gear or wireless?
Examples...
Simplest of course is with a direct connection with a win pc. Laptop or tablet.
1. Cheapest tablet option is the surface go with a usb hub to the camera and mount. You would need to activate the regular win 10 version, rather than the s version. Will be low powered and maybe a little slow, but you don’t need huge horse power at the telescope for ascom etc....surface pro will be zippier of course.
2. Stick PC with usb hub at the mount running win 10. You would remote in with any tablet(iOS/Android) or laptop/desktop. You could replace the stick pc with an intel nuc for a bit more power if funds allow.
3. ASI air to a tablet of your choice as you’ve said.
There are lots of combinations, my main experience has been that you don’t need a powerful pc at the mount end. In fact the camera software is probably the most taxing, and you could potentially ditch that entirely if your using a DSLR.
Cheers
