So, playing around with this idea (and sticking with the Celeron NUC as I already have it, and it is a 12VDc device)

Has anyone played around with the Linux "Distro Astro" I have downloaded it and run it on the NUC from a USB stick (To save messing with my existing Ubuntu install though it does not matter much)

The only issue I have run across in messing around recently is that the Canon 350D I have is finicky to use with backyard EOS due to age. Linux appears able to see the memory card on the camera when connected by USB though it is fiddly (You need to demount and remount the camera as a device to see any images taken since the previous mount of the device)

Distro Astro comes with some handy stuff pre installed but it may be just as simple to run Ubuntu and manually install stuff like Stellarium.
