Laptop for astrophotography?
Hi,
I am doing some fixed tripod astrophotography with a Nikon D3100 DSLR and want to buy a laptop to help with checking my focusing etc before I do my shots, using a tethering program. I want to buy a laptop that will also be able to be used with a GOTO mount and scope if I buy them in the future, including for long exposure astrophotography. What sort of laptop should I look for? I read that an older operating system is preferred so take it that I should be looking for a laptop with Windows 7 or 8 on it. Is this advisable? What specs should I be looking for?
Thanks,
