I wouldn't worry to much about that laptop, old, didn't cost anything, as soon as you plug the LPI into it it blue screens, that seems to be all it can do is just crash. I just use my new one, work a lot better.
anyway, tonight was horrible, couldn't get a star anywhere, I tried ngc 5128 and got a guide star but couldn't get focus because of the angle of the scope, thought, oh well, omega cent is close by, couldn't find a guide star, tried every part of the sky couldn't get one, so I think now my next purchase will be a new guide/ planetary camera, I even tried eta again but couldn't get one, I messed with the settings and I managed to get a clearer view but I could only get 1 or 2 stars in random areas.
ah well, back to work tommorow.
