ASTRONOMY AND INTEL-BASED MAC SYSTEMS

Last updated: 4 November 2012

With the release of Apple's Intel based Macintosh systems, it is now possible to run Windows applications natively on Macs. This page will document some information on using Windows astronomy applications, such as Registax, MaxDSLR, the Meade AutoStar Suite, and the Meade AutoStar Update application, on these systems. If you have a Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or the Intel based Mac mini or iMac models and have tried one of the following with Windows astronomy applications, please send your experiences to me at etx@me.com. I will compile the information and post it. Thanks. Please specify your Mac model, the version of Windows, the application used, and which of the following you have used:

Boot Camp
CrossOver Mac
Parallels Desktop
WINE
VMWare
VirtualBox
