Well, that's fantastic!
And now some clear skies and no Scandinavian mid summer sun during the night :-)

Replied by Rob on topic New Raspberry pi 4 anounced

There is a pi 4 specific raspian for the new board. I suspect the old version will not work since there are extensive hardware changes including the change fro A53 to A72 CPU

That’s what I suspected - it would almost be too good to be true if it was plug’n play.
I’ll check it out tomorrow or as soon as I get my new Pi.

Superb review showing the massive differences between the rpi3b+ and the new 4b....and there is a very big difference

The Pi3b ran with around half an amp (but could draw more if it is running other devices). Does this Pi really draw about 3 amps or more? Or is that just what it needs for the devices? That could be a big drawback for imaging in the field.

I guess it´s the 2xUSB 3.0 ports. Each one must be able to supply 900mA

yes, but do they constantly draw that power, or is it just if you have devices plugged into them?

they won’t draw power with nothing plugged into them...that is t how it works, but I use a 12v to 5v 4 amp converter so no worries here, mind you I have monitored my rpi3b+ with all ports used and it’s never drawn more than 1.5 amps, but I have all power Hungary devices plugged into a powered hub, namely my Pegasus UPB..
With my SX USB 2.0 CCD Cameras I have no use for USB 3.0, ATM anyway.. :)

Very, VERY interested in learning if and how well Stellarmate OS and Kstars/Ekos runs with the new PI 4. This is exactly the upgrade I've been waiting for - REALLY hope SM OS plays well with it. Also would be HUGE if we could now run Ekos smoothly on the PI instead of remotely - man would that be great!

...Eagerly awaiting news and reviews!
