Windows Synscan App - minimum spec for old laptop ? Netbook ? (XP , w7...)


Recommended Posts

Whats the minimum windows spec needed to run the Synscan app (wifi or cable) please ?

I have an old netbook sitting in front of me running windows XP (and some FTDI adapters in my box of bits) and I thought..... I know what I can do with this....
Little shelf on the side of the mount - bingo ?


The app looks very lightweight and so Im not expecting much in the way of demand as long as it runs on XP.
I did look on the skywatcher site ... couldnt find any info

Thanks

well after playing about with a netbook running Xp and another running W10 (slowly) it seems that the windows SynscanApp doesnt like the non-standard display on these machines. The app runs but is not visible on the small screnn.

Looking for another Astro use for a couple of netbooks now ....
They seem to run Stellarium ok.
