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.

A miniPC can be powered by a powerbank.
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.
