Hi all,
I'm after planetarium software like CdC that communicates with my DSC's and can provide tours of brightest Ngc objects, or objects within a constellation etc etc. So basically I'd start at a point, and when I'm ready ill hit next (for arguements sake) and the software will direct me to the next target. Basically a streamlined method, rather than flicking between a spreadsheet or PDF and then searching for it within CdC and moving on. It's not a difficult task per se, but on field in the dark, on a netbook with its tiny letters and my stubs for fingers, it is cumbersome. That's the other thing...I'm using an Asus 701, with from memory, 1ghz processor and 256 Meg ram. Storage is tight too. A 4 gig sd card and 1 gig left on the ssd.
Any suggestions?
Jack
