Barebone PC for telescope control
Been a while since I logged in, but this item grabbed my attention. Too often we try to re-invent the wheel and bash our heads against a wall trying to find "apps" for Tabs, Blueberries etc.
An ideal device which is small, extremely efficient and runs software like Carte du Ciel easily, is the magic little note book: "The ASUS Eee" I have been using one of these for quite some time, it never crashes, fails or lets me down. I recently had to replace the battery, but they are readily available on EBay and other battery outlets.
If you can lay your hands on one of these, do so, they are great.
Keep it simple and you will then have time to enjoy doing many things when you get a clear sky.
Cheers Dave. Perth.
