Few times, during last months there is display color problem. Display is not physically broken. It displays colors properly - when no requirement for accurate color reproduring, like image processing.
When problem appears, some colors in the normal palette are displayed wrongly. Usually hues of green are totally lost. And bright blueish and shades of grey - have strange color cast. Same applies with skin tones, those are looking like pink shades. Restarting of the laptop, solves problem.
The problem could be (?) related to the Intel display adapter /video drivers. I updated drivers, and the usage of laptop will tell - does it help to cure the problem.

Imaging laptop, software installation completed
Finally it is done !! All the required software is installed, last one was Nikon Camera Control Pro2. My Lenovo EDGE11 currently looks like this:
There is still some tweaking left for the used software, like defining imaging setup focal lenght, aperture sizes etc. Laptop has to be fitted in the rigid case, Pelican 1450.

Imaging laptop, accessories arrived
On last week, I got packet delivery from UPS, ordered accessories arrived:
So there is now a rigid Pelican 1450 -case for imaging laptop (Lenovo EDGE11). All the stuff is needed to put in (laptop, powersupply, display heater, heater controller, usb / ethernet cables). Case also needs suitable connector panel, so there is many things to solve...
The company (Cameranu.nl), where I ordered the equipment, did not make any effort to protect the Nikon CCP2 software package. In the big box, there was no softening material inside at all !!! The disk case has suffered, from the rough handling (see broken lower right corner of plastic cover). CD -disk seems to be in good condition.

Imaging laptop, setup continues...
Most of the astronomy related software is already installed, some still to-do. Hopefully job is completed, within one week (no real hurry since I do this after my daily work hours)
Also ordered an AC / DC combo adapter, to use my ThinkBad laptop on the field with 12V battery system. I had a good old Targus DC -adapter, too bad there was no proper "tip" available for my new laptop model.

New imaging laptop
Since time is passing by, and my oldie faithful laptop (IBM T43) almost dying, it was time to get new one. Smaller and lighter Lenovo Thinkpad EDGE 11" lies now on the table.
Following days will be spent by installing win7 and all the required software. First thoughts of the laptop are pretty ok, but a clear minus is from the special keys in the keyboard. PgUp / PgDn too small, not responding well. Also Delete and Insert keys are tricky to use, maybe since I have used to larger keys in older IBM laptops. Normal keys with alphabets - those are responding well. Markings on the function keys, is too difficult to find in low lightning (since used red text).
Compared to old laptop with win XP, the startup and shutdown times are totally different. I do not have to wait for 5 minutes for the computer to start, and couple of minutes to shut down.
Basic laptop specs are:
Lenovo Thinkpad EDGE 11
Display size 11"
System memory 4GB
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Intel core i3 processor
