It looks like the RasperryPI is facing stiff competition, I was browsing reddit when I found $35 ODroid-C1 . It took me only a few minutes to order two complete kits (with Ubuntu 14.04 on 8GB SD card)!

Here are some specs:

Why would anyone order RPi after this? Of course, let's see how it fairs once I receive it! The RPi has been doing fine and been running like a champ for the last two weeks in my home observatory, but I couldn't stop myself, and given that I ordered Banana PIs before... looks like I'm becoming a single-board PC hoarder

Damn it! Where it was when I was ordering my Banana Pi?! How much is the shipping btw? In any case there is not that much to regret - I got my Banana Pi for 41.80$ with shipping included, with possibility to connect my spare 2.5" SATA HDD directly to board. Of course I had to buy and a SATA cable... Btw, there is a nice enclosure for Banana Pi which I am going to print: www.thingiverse.com/thing:460603/ :)
There is one reason to buy RPi for astronomy - its camera. With latest firmware it is possible to take long exposures (minutes) and take a video at VGA@90fps.
Btw, I am also a SBPC hoarder - I already own 3 RPi (A + B + B+) and a Banana Pi will arrive in a few days And I think I will buy an Odroid-C1

P.S. Please fix your link - it contains " at the end

My Odroid C1 just arrived and I have a mixed feelings. Device is reseting every time I touch the power cable, it can't be powered over USB, WiFi is loosing connection every couple of minutes... etc.

It is much better (and much cheaper) than TrimSlice I bought before but still far from being perfect or even usable for astronomy

I also just received mine today but they forgot to ship the SD cards and even with my 8GB microSD card with their Ubuntu 14.04 it's not working... will report once I have something functional

Do you have any 8-32 GB microSD?
On the other hand, you can try install the Ubuntu 14.04 on 8-32 GB USB flash drive and run it on your ODroid-C1.

INDI is compiled and Odroid tested with Atik Titan, Atik One and SX Lodestar. Seems to work with all of them...

So I got it working now and INDI was compiled, but it seems the wireless connection is not stable. I will put it to the test tonight and see how it fares. It is however a LOT faster than RPi.

Which wi-fi adapter do you use?

This one from HardKernel.

I have two wi-fi adapters:
1. 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter TL-WN725N www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?cat...=243&model=TL-WN725N
2. 150Mbps High Gain Wireless USB Adapter TL-WN722NC www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?cat...id=&model=TL-WN722NC

The wireless connection with TL-WN725N is not stable.

I have this one and have the same problem

Peter, I noticed today that my QSI now takes around 5-6 minutes to download ONE frame whereas it took 30 seconds maximum on the RPi, are you seeing any issues with downloading data from the CCD?

Also, the wireless was totally worthless, I had to use Ethernet.
