I have not timed the build on a Rpi 3, but I would expect indi to build in about 2 hours with my build script.

I think the v1.7 Raspi camera will work. I believe you would use the indi_v4l2_ccd driver, but I cannot be sure. Just temper your expectations with any camera using v4l2. These are technically webcams that only stream video, taking still images is basically just grabbing a frame from the video stream. The camera could also be limited to 1s exposures. Some drivers support longer exposure times, but long exposures are actually just simulated by taking multiple frames from the video stream and internally stacking them in the driver.
