Thanks for the heads up! I haven't heard of this but I've downloaded the most recent astroberry image to SD, done a full upgrade and firmware update, copied the whole thing to a USB and booted successfully from that. So I'm hoping that it may stay that way when I transfer to SSD!

What I intend to do for the mo is update the SD by installing gparted, zip and the NTFS drivers at the least and install my INDI profles, possibly update ASTAP, and then use gparted to include a small 4Gb data partition at the end of the SD, which may allow me to clone the whole thing to a 32Gb USB as a backup, Then periodically I could empty the SSD NTFS partition, which is only there really to transfer FITS and SER files to PIPP and Registax, shrink the NTFS partition to fit inside 32Gb, then I can clone the whole thing to the SD again for updating., clone the SD to the USB for backup, then clone to the SSD and re-expand the data partition on fhe SSD. I platesolve on my linux machine so I don't need the astrometry database on the pi (and ASTAP does not need large files anyway).

The wild card in this plan is whether the apt-update apt-upgrade process will fall over if there is another partition on the SD. I'm hoping not. If that is toing to be a problem I can't currently think of a way around it ;(

Any thoughts on this would be helpful - fools rush in!

Best
