Hi All,

Well, I run most of my imaging from my MacBook. I simply installed BootCamp from the Apple website and XP. Then it works just like a PC, but somehow better...

I have an SBig camera and run CCDSoft, CCDStack, CCDOps, TheSky6 Pro etc. I have had no problems. The only hassle is having to reboot to swap OS, but the new version of OSX should allow a windows in a window like Parallels.

That said, I have just bought a cheap desktop PC for the observatory, mainly because if it gets pinched I won't be too concerned.

The Macbook is what I use when I'm on the road though.

I hace also used the Macbook for planetary image capture and processing using a simple webcam image capture software and Registax.

Cheers
Stuart
