Time To Replace My BeeLink U59 Mini Computer

After experiencing some sluggishness with my BeeLink U59 mini computer while taking short exposures and running Tom Palmer's Target Scheduler plugin for N.I.N.A. I decided it was time to purchase a new mini computer.

The 32gb with 1tb NVME is $399 … cheaper to buy that than upgrade later probably

[@AstroVagabond]

Where is that one listed and what is the model number? Does it come with Windows 11 Pro?

[@mazenataya5521]

KZbin keeps deleting my comment with the Amazon URL for some reason. The model number is SER5 PRO. R7-5700U 32G+1TB@@AstroVagabond

So I'm sticking with what I oredered because I'm already over the budget allocated by my CFO (a.k.a. Wife). I do appreciate you taking the time to give me a heads up. I saw that model but did not see an explicit reference to Windows 11 Pro which was a requirement. ~ Bill

1. Get NUC comp. Fast, resilient (worked at -8 centigrade). 2. Don’t buy primaluche focuser, any focuser. Get Moonlite one (the best focuser there is).

[@AstroVagabond]

The length of the Moonlite would be a challenge as I understand it in my ability to set proper backfocus while using my focal reducer on my EdgeHD 8. The Esatto 2" LP optical length is 32mm and I believe I can make that work.
