Macbook M1 chip compatible autoguider?
When it comes to the autoguider it would be nice for it to double as a lunar/planetary imager. Was thinking of the ZWOASI120 Mini or the Orion Magnificent mini package which includes the 50mm.finderscope & the starshoot autoguider. The big question is do you know if these autoguiders or any others are compatible with a new Macboook Air with the new M1 chip to run the software? Orion's product says it's compatible with macbooks powered by intel chips.

Developers will need to first get the Compliers and Infrastructure Components - which will likely cost a Pretty Penny at first.
Look at how little Astro Software is available for even Intel Macs.
