Hey Greg,
All depends on your use case requirements and your current setup.
1. For visual, compared with Hand controller and integrated mount controllers: probably doesn’t offer much, but allows easier switching to EAA. Also allows you to control the mount and an electronic focuser with a game pad (I do this). But setup dependent you can potentially do this all thru sky safari alone without a nuc.
2. Compared to a standard PC: it allows mounting on the mount or OTA which may make for better cable management and local USB ports which are useful for the mount/cameras/focuser. Doesn’t deal with power management though.
3. Compared with proprietary devices like asiair: it’s much more versatile and can achieve a lot more complexity, as discussed in another thread recently.
Cheers
