Question for LX200GPS owners

I just purchased a 10" LX200GPS and received it Friday and so far I am extremely happy with it. My questions is about the package contents. What all is supposed to come packaged with this telescope? I was reading the desrciption and it talks about the Autostar Software Suite, Astronomer’s Edition , but I don't have this. I also do not have the DB-9 cable it speaks of in the description. I have sent an email to the store that I purchased this scope from asking them about this. Any thoughts/suggestions? What came with your scope? Thanks

Vince, I bought mine used, but the previous owner gave me all that came with the scope, and more...

There was NO software with mine, even though even if it came, I would NOT be using it... (I use some other software, and you could check Cartes Du Ciel, which is free and far superior to the AS)(but the new scopes used to come with the LPI, which would include the Autostar Suite for imaging purposes, and star charting also)

The DB9 cable was NOT included originally with the scope, and doubt they include it now... that is something you'll most likely have to purchase separatedly...

Check this page for the cable...
