new lappy?

[speach]

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop for the running the telescope etc, they come with Win10 now, on my telescope computer I run Stellarium, cartes de ciel, php2, apt, eqmod, dimension 4. anyone out there running win10 have any problems with these programmes?

Dosen't anyone have any ideas

i run all of these programs on my surface pro 3 with Win 10 and i have absolutely no issues whatsoever. i love my surface! although this is not my primary astro computer now, it is well and truelly capable

Win 10 seems to behave well with most astro software. I run CDC, Steelarium, phd2, SGpro, eqmod, SX and QHY cams, Atik filter wheel and SharpSky focuser without a hitch.

I have had other issues, but they were nothing to do with the astro stuff.

Hi Simon,
I've just bought a new lappy - the old one died. It has windows 10 installed. Unfortunately, my Star Shoot Auto Guider needs a new driver which is not yet available from Orion. Contacted Orion who said its being developed and should be available soon. Soon???? :shrug:

That sucks a lot. I am feeling for you. I was looking around for upgrade issues and haven't found any yet but now I will wait. Would you care to post when the driver has been released?

[Robert9]

Goes without saying. :)

I run that as well so looks as if I'll wait awhile,
Thanks for the info

Interesting thread on Cloudy nights regarding the SSAG driver.
