Hi all

Good news I just tested the latest Astro IIDC release under Lion without any obvious problems. :-)

Thanks for the confirmation. Purchasing Lion and get it installed on my x86 Macs so I can begin formal testing is on my to do list now that Apple has released.

And my "Brain Surgery" I did on the old Core Duo Max Mini x86 yesterday was a complete success. On Monday my 2 gighz Core 2 Duo replacement chip finally arrived (waiting in Customs for a month due to the Canada Post mail strike).

I checked an imaging source and a PG Dragonfly 2 camera and processed an older Jupiter movie with good results. I used a basic "Advanced Planetary" setting and the stacking result was better than my old stack.

A big thank you to Milton the new version is lightning fast on my older iMac when reprocessing the movie. :-D

Glad to hear it's working well for you.

The Bad part is that all those PowerPC / SSE3 optimizations are toast going forward, as Apple will be dumping Intel processors and switching to their own proprietary ARM processors in the future. That would also pretty well kill off running Windows on a Mac too.

TTYL..
