Be careful... I had a bunch of issues installing windows on it. My windows 7 install disc didn't have USB3 drivers on it so I had to make a custom image with the correct drivers so it would install from a USB.
Root cause is the latest NUC doesn't have any external USB2 ports and the install image of win7 only has USB 2 drivers. The Intel instructions were useless as was their 'tool' for creating the image. Had to do it via trial and error and the published method was not entirely fool proof.
Also, difficult to run it headless (no monitor or keyboard). You can't use Turbo VNC and remote into it without having a monitor plugged in. Only solution is to trick the NUC with a dummy HDMI plug to activate the internal graphics card if you wish to use a VNC client. Windows Remote desktop works fine however and I use that now. A few gotcha's that might be an issue.
Power wise- I wouldn't worry if you have a powered USB hub and cameras, filter wheels have their own 12V source.
I haven't done this yet but apparently it works on 12V. Currently running an extension lead to the mount and using the 19V DC adapter supplied. You'll need to do something creative with a power lead if you want to run direct from the battery. Another job for another weekend.
Other than that, it runs fine.
