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.

that is hardly using the
mac os for astro stuff tho is it
i think thats what the question was?, and you need a recent u beaut intel duo inside mactel to do what your doing besides, it bears mentioning
I didnt know about the running both os's simultaneously in 10.5, with parallels like 'in a window' ability, yikes! that would be a power/memory hungry trick! boy theyve come a long way since when i used to muck around with virtual pc back in os 8 - that was a total piece of junk that was
interesting to here some aussie feedback on this
thanks
