I'm thinking specifically of the QHY 367C and running it via SharpCap on a Surface Pro 6 tablet ... check it out at QHY 367C.

It's an impressive camera. I was considering it at one stage but there were other options that suited my needs better. I have a few QHY cameras and I use SharpCap a lot. The author is very responsive with both bug fixes and user requests.

How long are the typical exposures with your current approach ?

I do wonder a little if you'd actually gain a great deal over your existing setup. The astro camera is very "no frills" so there's a lot more fluffing around to get an exposure. If you're doing say 5 second exposures, the gain from cooling would be minimal but the time taken to get a result, longer.

Of course, you can always buy a tracking mount and take up astrophotography.
