What are the pros and cons of starting Astrophytum seed outdoors?

I live in the far north and have for years always started my seed indoors with grow lights. This year, I got my seed much earlier than I would have normally and would like to entertain the idea of taking advantage of the free sunshine outside to get a leg up before they go back in the basement under grow lights.
How have you grown seed outside? I'm thinking east or west side of my house so they're not in full sun all day and maybe using a shade cloth. I will apply a humidity dome to improve germination but I think I risk cooking them in that. Any advice?
