Cornelius Varley Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 It would depend on if the netbook meets the minimum required specifications to run the camera.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickD Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I use a Samsung NC10 Netbook to run all my imaging software in the field (Starry Night running the mount, Nebulosity capturing with an ATIK 383, PHD guiding with a Mead DSI).No problem with performance, however the screen is too small to display all the open applications adequately. It’s sufficiently annoying that I am going to buy a dedicated Astro Laptop with a 17” screen….Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarastro Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 What about seeing focus on height magnitude? I am imaging the Sun as well?Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickD Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sorry Anthony I'm not sure I understand your question, can you explain?Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarastro Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi Mick,Sorry, is the screen big enought to see if the sun is in focus at very magnitude. The screen look very small which could be a big problem. A problem you had as well. One other thing as well. Do you need to stick with the type of processor they state or can it be a little less poweful or is that a bad idea?Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
