Thanks for doing this. Consider posting this question in the CloudyNights EAA forum. You will get good feedback there. My handle on CN is Relativist feel free to PM me there. I'm a former moderator of the forum and have practiced EAA type observing for a while now.

I'd say set aside planetary/lunar for now.

I don't have an understanding of how INDI is built so it's hard for me to recommend anything in particular. That being said, what would differentiate an EAA tool in my mind is the ability to use inference to improve an image one is viewing. Making an EAA software accessible for the masses hasn't been done yet in my opinion, and if I were to put any efforts it would be with that in mind. Currently software like Sharpcap and Astrotoaster give the best results. You can watch live broadcasts on www.nightskiesnetwork.com to see what some of the best broadcasting EAA practitioners are able to do.

I do not mind a little set up, I actually would like to contribute to any open source software that does EAA if I can. If this is the right place, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks that is exactly what I'm wondering, if I can use another ARM SBC. The Radxa Zero does look interesting. Could you let me know if it works for EAA?

Also, how do I get it running with this software?

I'm interested in using this software for an EAA setup that has a Skyscanner with a Touptec 224 camera and a Nexstar SE (the smaller one) mount. I'd like my daughter to be able to control the setup and do her viewing using her tablet, which is an amazon fire kids 8" tablet. Does live stacking work reliably, and is there an adjustable histogram?

Since I can't readily get a Raspberry Pi, is there another SBC, like an Orange Pi 5 or similar, that I can use to run this software?
