Hi leon - I'm using a 24" iMac for all my astro processing needs. I use the Dell laptop for capture etc at the scope - much easier!
After I've got my images on the CF card I import them into the Mac and convert to TIFF with the Canon DPP software (Mac version - on the same Canon disc).
New Macs have an INTEL processor which allows you to run both Mac and PC operating systems side by side thanks to emulation software such as VMware Fusion (approx $120AU). I then drag the TIFFS into the PC enviroment to stack etc in Images Plus which runs no problem - you can run the PC enviroment as a window within the Mac screen or go full screen so your Mac looks like a PC - all works really well, no dramas.
(You'll need a copy of your fave PC operating system also)
Once stacked I drag the Combined Stack into the Mac enviroment to work on with PS4 on the 24" screen - sweet!!!
All very easy and seamless!
PM me if you want, or give me a bell
For imaging I love the Mac.
Doug
