Hi,
At the moment I have a windows server at the telescope, but with a more compact and power efficient Raspberry Pi3 I thought I could make it much better.

I could have the small Raspberry mounted on the telescope and get very short cables, no need of a separate USB Hub anymore, Raspberry already has four USB ports.

I don't want it to be dependent of 100% perfect connection between the telescope computer and the terminal. I use the Raspberry as a server, then it's not dependend of the inhouse computer and the connection to it, it handle everything loclay. Looked good but experience from it show that it's too slow.

I have wrote all down how I built it on my projectpage:

The project is in pause now, but will restart the project later again, then maybe we have faster Raspberries.

I like the concept!
