Hello, I am probably not in the right area of the forums so if this needs to be moved not a problem. I have a 80 and it came with AutoStar (I know that a newer version is available from the Meade website). However I am an Apple MacBook Pro user and that software doesn't run in a Mac.

I do not particularly want to spend money on a new computer just to run my telescope at the moment so can anyone help me point me to an application or website that will allow me to get my Mac and my telescope running in perfect harmony. I know that I could put a bootcamp partition on my mac to run windows and associated programs but I do not want to 'sully' my mac with windows I also have an iPad 3 so if there is an app for that, that information would also most be grateful.
