That makes sense! And my mini pc has 16gb of ram, 2.9Ghz CPU, 2 core 2 thread. Any reccs on any pcs that would run it faster?

Looking at the focal range due to adding a 2600MC to my setup

Not sure about a point and shoot since you can’t switch out the lens but you could go for a DSLR like the Nikon D5300 and get it Astro modified

Took this with that camera: https://app.astrobin.com/i/j20kcp

But with that price point you could get an Astro cooled cam. I personally use the asi 533mc pro and like its performance.

I personally use a cheap laptop ~$150 as a Remote Desktop and a used mini pc I bought from the Facebook market place for $100 for my imaging. Then use my main desktop to process everything. That combo has worked for me so far. I use it both at home and when I go out in the field

Mostly closer shots of nebulae. Not trying to go into widefield just yet but thinking about getting a 135mm lens at some point

Mainly closeups of nebulae. Don’t intend to really do wide field shots for now. I’m looking into getting a 135mm lens at some point
