Observatory Controller

The complete guide to installing and configuring a MiniPC as a dedicated astrophotography controller for the automated observatory. In this guide, I walk through installing and configuring a Beelink SER3 MiniPC to run N.I.N.A., all related astrophotography software like PHD2, manage all your ASCOM devices, and enable full remote operation — including smart relay power control so you never have to brave freezing nights at the telescope again.
