There is no need for special cables, just regular USB and 12V DC cables.
For our devices (Stellarmate Pro, RPI, Mini PC etc) the point is to have a correct and stable power source. If your battery is capable of doing that, then you will have no problem.

Hello John,
Cause Astroberry is extremely outdated, I would strongly recommend you to:
Purchase Stellarmate OS (there are two verions, one for Pi and one PC , www.stellarmate.com)
or
build your system by yourself with a little bit help for example github.com/rlancaste/AstroPi3 .

Yes. The adapter above "Arducam IMX477 UVC Camera Adapter Board for 12MP Raspberry Pi HQ Camera with Single Microphone" says that it converts the pi HQ (IMX477) cam into a USB cam.
So in theory that will do the job.

Yes correct!
I saw the video here www.facebook.com/watch/?v=781066203866776 , and then searched my recordings. I was lucky enough that there was a gap into clouds there :-)
Then www.noakobservatory.gr/indexen.php informed our greek astrophotography discord group about the allsky7net.

Thank you for those details!
I am not lucky at all, cause my observatory + all sky cam are under B8-9, so I'm not even looking for details, just the weather to be safe for AP sessions.
But a few nights ago I was able to capture this meteor

Just to be on the same page, you mean this one, correct ? www.svbony.com/sv205c-astronomy-camera/

Thank you Nick,
I used to have the RPI with its camera too but I ditched them both with a mini pc for the sake of responsiveness.
Now I was looking probably for something like SV205 (?)

I would like a feedback from fellow users about "cheap" cameras that are already using succesfully right now.
I currently use the ASI224 without issue but I would like to reuse it again for planetary.
