building the Somnium observatory

[AlexN]

Best of luck for the weekend. It's a 3 dayer here in Qld with Monday being a public holiday I'm hoping to get 3 nights of imaging but all things considered I'd be happy with 1 good night.

I was having issues with the 6 year old computer running in the observatory ( which is responsible for my camera connection issues) , so I just picked up a second hand Alienware pc with 16gb of ddr3 ram , 4th gen i7 and a tb of hard drive, that ought to be enough . A bit of overkill but it shouldn't have any problems with processing lots of images
