Computer:
15" Macbook Pro but all my astro stuff runs via Parallels and Windows 10.
Telescope/Mount
- ASCOM
- TheSkyX
- MaximDL 6
- Sequence Gen Pro
- Autoslew (the mount control software)
Planetarium
- TheSkyX
Imaging
- TheSkyX
- MaximDL 6
- Sequence Gen Pro
Stacking
- PixInsight
Planner
- TheSkyX
- Sequence Gen Pro
At the moment I am swapping a bit between using Sequence Gen Pro and MaximDL for image capture. I prefer using Maxim DL BUT Sequence Gen Pro is easier to use for setting up automated sequences.
As for guiding, someone may be able to correct me here but I believe that PHD2 is the upgrade of Open PHD. Sequence Gen Pro is very easy to use, no idea how it compares against BYEOS; the latter is designed for DSLR control so it MAY be more friendly for that.
