Can I use a 2019 macbook pro as a monitor for m1 mac studio?

Great! Now lets assume that I don't yet have a mac Studio Monitor . . . would screen sharing with the macbook pro still work? I'm still getting a Mac Studio, but I won't have room to take the monitor with me when I travel, but I can take my 2019 macbook pro and mac studio.

I think it is small enough to pack the mac studio as I'd be using it as a desktop when at my dark site for several months. I won't use it at a cafe etc.

The reason for mac studio is the ability to get 128GB memory and more cpu/gpu cores. I will be processing extremely data-heavy astrophotography files. Only 1000 ten-second exposures to pre-process took 90min on my macbook pro with fans blowing full blast the whole time and temps hovering around 200-212F. I'll be processing more like 20000 ten-second exposures. Sometimes even more than that. Really I should build a Linux machine, but then I'm back to having a full tower-sized computer that is tough to travel with.

Thanks!

The dark site is my own land in the mountains, and taking a regular monitor is back to a space thing. No pun intended. . .or is it? A better monitor is better for final processing, but the laptop monitor is good enough to get things started, then do fine-tuning when I get back.

HA! Of course not! A monitor is a monitor. I'm more asking if it's possible to "screen share" where I can see what the mac studio is doing via my macbook pro.

Great idea! Thx!
