For those who are interested, there is a new distribution that works very well on raspberry. This is AstroArch. It installs very easily on pi4 or pi5. It is in x64, all software is with the latest version, works in HDMI or VNC, KDE6.
It also contains the astromonitor software. It allows you to save the kstars, indi, phd2 and equipment profile configuration files on a server. You can thus recover your configurations to reinstall them on another device or in the event of a hardware failure.

What do you think of pi 5 and the AstroArch distribution?

You should test AstroArch 1.8. It works with a pi 4, 5 or mini PC and comes with the latest versions of Kstars/Ekos, Indi, Phd2, Siril, Firecapture...

I tested this distribution between two swims and the mist. After making a few adjustments, it works very well. Here are some images taken as well as Siril live staking.

Looking forward to a clear sky for a full night.

Hi,

For information, a new version of AstroArch has just been released. This is 1.8

It works on pi4 and pi5. It is light and fast

Simply write the image to an SD card, USB key or SSD. Nothing else to do
