Equipment

I am using the iExos-100 mount with various combinations of telescopes, cameras, and single board computers.  Here is a list of telesceopes that I am using:

1. SarBlue Mak 60 (a 750 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain with 60mm aperture).

2. Meade Infinity 80 (basically an achromatic ST-80 variant)

3. Various Minolta Rokkor lenses (if they can count as telescopes 😉)

Some of the cameras that I have been using include:

1. QHY5III462C

2. QHY5III715C

3. ZWO ASI 482C

4. Canon 350D

5. Nikon 1 J3

6. Sony Nex-3N (this one is not supported by INDI, I am using it with an intervalometer).

Except the Sony Nex-3N, all of these cameras are fully supported by INDI.

The single board computers I have been using include:

1. Raspberry Pi Zero W (this has only an armV6 processor that does not support the newer QHY cameras).

2. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (that one works great with the Nikon 1 J3 and Canon 350D  cameras).

3. Orange Pi Lite (a little more powerful than the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, because it has 1GB of RAM instead of only 512KB).

4. Raspberry Pi 4B (That's my only board that has USB-3 ports. Thus, I use this board if I use a camera that supports USB-3).

All of these single board computers run the INDI server and connect to a small travel router placed on the tripod of the telescope mount. The travel router connects to my home WiFi router when I am at home. I can then use VNC to connect to the single board computer from any computer inside my house. When I am at a dark sky site away from home, I can connect to the single board computer with a Windows notebook via the travel router. Usually, I use KStars/Ekos running on a Windows computer for astrophotography. KStars/Ekos (running on the Windows computer) connects to the INDI server running on the single board computer.
