FYI, if you use a 64-bit computer operating system, you won't be able to download any software updates for the Celestron SkyScout and will just have to use it with whatever version it came with. They apparently don't have any immediate plans to make it 64-bit compatible, either.

Bummer, I guess. But how hard would it be to borrow a 32 bit PC and do the upgrade? It ain't like they are issuin' updates every month--or year.
