In amateur astrophotography there’s a few Raspberry Pi based automation rigs which retail for a few hundred dollars (e.g. ASIAIR). This is a case where cheap x86 SBCs are a much better option because they give you access to the vast suites of Windows based astrophotography software available, lately particularly N.I.N.A. I even just came across a video where someone else came to the same conclusion and went into good depth on it. [1]
The MeLe Quieter 2 [2] is a similar form factor to little ARM SBCs, is passively cooled, is a couple hundred dollars, and includes Win10Pro. For that you get a quad core 2Ghz+ 14nm processor, 8GB ram, and 128GB eMMC.
