Beelink U57 Customer review
Great for Astrophotographers or anyone else that needs a remote pc!
)I’m an amateur astrophotographer that dislikes both frostbite in the winter and mosquitoes in the summer. So I like to run my telescopes remotely from inside my house. It gets really complicated to try to control several cameras, mounts, focusers, etc, through cables running across my lawn to my laptop inside the house. This was a perfect solution. I mounted the mini-pc directly onto my main telescope and use it’s built in wifi to control it with Windows Remote. Works perfectly. Very fast and I might as well be out there with the machine (and mosquitoes..). NO LAG.
The built in storage is more than adequate for storing the pictures I am taking and that means I don’t have to waste time downloading them through a long wire while the system is operating. They get dumped directly into the onboard hard drive!
By Amazon reviewer
Now that I’ve seen what this one can do, I will buy at least one or two more for my other telescopes. I researched this machine and it really is the best that I could find for what I paid for it. I worry slightly about it being waterproof and I may address that problem myself and build some sort of enclosure but that’s the only minor observation that I’d need to address on this cool little pc! Enjoy!
