Hi,

After some configuration problems, now I am using the rasp pi3 with kstars/ekos standalone (ubuntu mate 16.04 for arm processors)... doing all the big job. Stellarmate is a good option if you don't want to learn linux...

As Jasem wrote, it works great as a server, with a laptop processing big work, but if you have some connectivity problems ( wifi, gigabit, PLC) be careful...

Other people are using the raspberry pi 3 as as sever+Phd2, saving pictures local and remote (good option in case of connection failure), if kstars hangs, start it again and the mount will be where you left... guiding a star...

good luck for this new challenge
