I thought I read the PI was limited to 32gb sd? (I know the ASIair is).
I have a 64gb a 128gb and a 256gb that I don't use. Are you saying can put astroberry on the 128gb for more storage?

OR 64gb - can we then plug in a external HD or usb drive to save subs to?

Good luck and be prepared to face a long and steep learning curve. But you'll see, it's very rewarding.

Got that - my issue is at my age my memory is mush... so retaining anything is a chore. Luckily most things are a google away.

64GB Samsung EVO Select and 64GB Sandisk Ultra both work.
On the Raspi I use as media center (under Openelec), I have a 1TB disk on an USB port. It's been working for 4 years.

Hi,
I'm quite new on INDI as well ...Just my 2 cents... I went easy way, bought Stellarmate OS, flashed to 32 GB card. The 50$ was well spent! Installed to PI 3+ and hooked up vie Ethernet. Installed on Win 7 PC Ekos. From there I control everything. My observing site from my house is just far enough to recieve Wi Fi, so before I connect Ethernet cable, I'll let the Wifi adjust to correct time (takes ca 5-10 second)
Best thing is, if You're in trouble ( I was due my some computer illiteracy), Jasem is there to sort things out via Teamviewer. Now is everything as I wish for it. Just need some tweaking on my guiding... The system works easily @ -18C ( last night)
I hope it helps.

I thought about that OS option. But I also think it's all free open source stuff? I actually bought a ASIair and it works well (I've only tested so far) but I like messing with software and stuff so I bought a PI and installed ASTROBERRY on it.
That's fine for my portable setup. (or the ASIair) but I'm now trying to change over my dome setup to Kstars. I have a lot more hardware than is 'easy'. My dome will take some firmware downgrades and other such issues. But I tend to enjoy the challenge and I love to learn new stuff.
