Hi Peter
I run all my astro on a Mac and Ipad. I use AsiAir for controlling acquisition and use a Mac Mini M1 for processing. I use Affinity on the Mac. Stacking takes around less than two minutes and image processing is enjoyable. I also have a good Windows machine with Imaging and stacking software but Affinity has made that redundant. The new Mac M1 processor is very powerful and the box never gets hot! I would like to have Nina on the Mac however (could use parallels) but I’m happy with current setup and ease of use.
