help what do I do?

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

In my hour of need and in a moment of weakness I swapped my spare Wii and accessories I bought off eBay for $15 for a eeePC 1001HA. Now what do I do with it? What astro software will run on this thing?

What are it's specs? What OS is it running? Technically it should be able to run any windows app.

WinXP Home edition 1 gig ram (waiting for 2 gig module) 1.6ghz cpu 160 gig hd.

I have Stellarium running, PHD, Meade Autostar (for the DSI Pro) but I cant get K3CCDTools to run.

I am running the obs on an eeebox with the same specs. I use the sky 6 and maxim all the time and phd as well sometimes. I put an ssd drive in it and installed win 7 starter and it runs fine on 1gig ram. I do have USB issues with it and plan to swap it out for a real box when the boy child upgrades his machine.

I have the same pc and use it for my Astro work, runs fine. I have 2 gig of ram though and would advise the upgrade.

I run the following software on it when imaging, starry night 6 pro plus, ascom, max point, eqmod, phd connected to my Meade dsi 2, backyard eos running my 5 d mkii. It handles all that at the same time whith out breaking a sweat. I even run photo shop cs4 and pixinsight on it, all be it a little slowly but still usable.


It's a great little laptop.

The eeepc will do until I get my replacement laptop.
I will get the 2 gig upgrade and see how it goes
