Hemi,

I would do a search for Raspberry Pi on iceinspace and investigate that as an option. For around $100-$150 you can have a low power mount and camera controller that you can control from another computer, such as a Surface Pro. Once everything is running you can put the computer to sleep and monitor every now and then if required.

If it gets damaged by dew or otherwise you have probably only lost the cost of the replacement board - $70.

The INDI software is getting better and easier to set up as time goes by and is now available as an image that you can write to a MicroSD card.
