That's certainly the advice the INDI developers give. It's advice based on the original Raspberry 1 but despite the advances in the new 2B version, probably still holds good - use the RP as server at the scope and remote in from a computer with more grunt. I'm looking at a 2B as server and an Intel Stick Compute as a remote host. Haven't got either yet - Intel Stick on oder though. Anyone tried doing this?
