Could i please get a recap of what is needed e.g cables etc.
I have The SkyX Serious Astronomer Edition and Meade autostar suite.
and the laptop anything special there ? What do you recommend?
Cheers

I don't consider myself an expert, but a good, cost-effective laptop brand that has good warranty etc is the Dell series, available on line. Since you'll probably finish up using the screen for a lot of astro purposes, including camera, imaging, mount and scope control etc, consider screen size in any evaluation.
