The software, manual, and drivers (this is basically what comes on the CD) by going to SkyScout Downloads page. The software is simply the upgrade utility used to upgrade software and firmware to the SkyScout. The cable is a basic USB A-B cable you can pick up at just about any store that sells anything related to electronics. The case is very simple and is about the size of a travel shaving kit. It just has some Celestron logos on it. Hope that helps you get the things you need to start using your SkyScout. -------------------- Adam 12" LX200R AT80mm piggyback DSI Pro, DSI-C, LPI Denver Astronomical Society Brighton Astronomical Group Post Extras:       namrats member Reged: 02/29/08 Posts: 33 Loc: California Re: I need a SKY SCOUT cd [Re: snowdragonusa]       #2617059 - 09/01/08 02:09 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you snowdragonusa..ill give it whirl with the software...that seems to be the key to the whole thing...i have used it already...seems to take a bit longer than i imagined to lock into the GPS satellites. -------------------- When im right no one remembers when Im wrong no one forgets Post Extras:       snowdragonusa professor emeritus Reged: 09/04/07 Posts: 637 Loc: Denver, CO Re: I need a SKY SCOUT cd [Re: namrats]       #2617443 - 09/01/08 05:06 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   One more reply so we don't go too far off topic in the Swap N Shop forum... but after you get the update utility installed be sure to upgrade your firmware to the latest version. Also be sure to stay away from cars, houses, or any other large metal structures. GPS acquisition should happen with in 45 seconds or so. Otherwise the SS will timeout and ask if you want to enter things in manually or try again. OK - No more info in the SNS forum. -------------------- Adam 12" LX200R AT80mm piggyback DSI Pro, DSI-C, LPI Denver Astronomical Society Brighton Astronomical Group Post Extras:       BCB Post Laureate Reged: 11/24/03 Posts: 3830 Loc: Look over your shoulder Re: I need a SKY SCOUT cd [Re: snowdragonusa]       #2617499 - 09/01/08 05:28 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks guys..
