   There is no software for this telescope, only a PDF owner's manual and   
   some links that no longer work.  Even the one with the motor drive to   
   follow the subject while the earth rotates I'm 95% sure uses no   
   software.  Just admit that it's good to have a DVD drive when the   
   company provides you with a DVD.
