Last night tried my Acer Aspire on for astro work.
Well just to go back a little first, this model 751h has had issues with random freezing. My one freezes occasionally, rare but it does, when doing tasks I'm fiddling software option selections. Others have reported the same issue..particular to this model. So all this was probably just particular to this Lappy model series.
Anyway to cut to the chase, after much to do I had it all up an running, a few freezes with APT early on but after that it worked fine for 6+ hrs.
I think the APT lock-ups were APT related. I'll be sending some screen grabs to Ivo on this.
PHD ran fine and I could preview images just fine with windows picture fax viewer (and APT zoom).
Also ran Gemini ASCOM fine and Astroplanner fine.
The freezing issue is a real pain..something I have to look into to. It only occurs when I'm changing or selecting something software wise. More investigation needed.
edit:
Appears Acer Aspire One(s) 0751h models have a bad "freezing issue" to do with MBoard. This sucks...105 pages of this issue
here.
Whoooo mine is still in warranty by a month +. Back to manufacturer it goes.
