Which controller is compatible with the Canon EOS R8? ASIAIR? Stellarmate? Other?
I can't find any official confirmation, only vague references to gphotolib2
Canon EOS R8 controller?

Great! I think NINA also works with the R8, but I was more referring to a standalone controller, like ASIAIR.

I use backyardeos with my R8. Good for nightscapes, lunar eclipses, etc. However, for full control, i’d recommend a dedicated astro camera.

Put it on a miniPC and you have a (much) better stand alone controller. StellarMate presumably would work but I'd NOT put it at n.1 in terms of either speed or reliability.
I've also considered a mini PC, but I was looking for something portable that could be powered by a power bank. Maybe a Raspberry Pi.

Alla fine, considerando l’assorbimento medio di un mini-pc tipo Intel NUC e quello di un Raspberry Pi 4, ho optato per un RPi4 8GB su cui ho installato Stellarmate OS.
Un Intel NUC di media assorbe 15W mentre un RPi4 circa 5W, la differenza è sostanziale anche se si usa un bel powerbank da 250 Wh come lo Shargeek 140.
Alla fine pare che sia la EOS R8 che la Star Adventurer GTi siano state “digerite bene” dallo Stellarmate, senza troppa difficolta.
Ottimo.
Controlling a UMi 17X: MiniPC or StellarMate/StellaVita/ASIAIR
Hi there! I’m decided to pair my Sky-Watcher Wave 150i with my C8 EdgeHD for Galaxy Season. For this I ditched the AVX mount head, got a ZWO Pier Extension which fits the AVX Tripod and voila: one sturdy, big and not so mobile setup (new guide scope ...

Evostar 72ED and Canon EOS RF
Which adapter for Evostar 72ED and Canon EOS R8 (RF)? A field rotator is attached to the evostar and this comes out with a male M54 mount.
Not relevant; discusses camera controllers, not lens/adapter compatibility.
