Hi Peter,
I have been using KStars/EKOS/Indi on a 8Gb RPi4 which is the same as Stellarmate for years. Currently, the functionality is very good especially now as the internal guider uses multistar guiding and the internal solver has been re-worked and is very quick. So I no longer use ASTAP as solver or PhD2 as guider. The polar alignment routine is also very accurate now.
I have used it with EQMod mounts, Astro-Physics and iOptron CEM40. All work well now.
Provided you stick to stable versions and avoid the nightly builds that are more for testing than regular use you should find it pretty useful.
I run it all remotely from indoors by wifi using NoMachine to run the Pi at the telescope. Images are captured locally at the Pi onto a External hard drive. The Pi now boots from an external SSD and is more responsive and the 8GB Pi4 has no issues with running out of memory.
I would not use anything else!
The Indilib forum is very helpful.
Mike
