Did you go to their web site? Under support find your model then you should be able to download the software again.
Sorry to tell you this, but those scopes are toys, you obviously have not done much astronomy if you think these will be adequate for astrophotography.
To do astrophotography you need a good stable mount a good telescope and a good camera in that order. Followed by a good laptop and good software, power supplies and a host of other bits like a guide scope and a guiding camera.
Your budget should be $6-7000 as a minimum, about 2,000 for the mount (a motorized equatorial) 1,000 for the telescope (say an 80mm Apo) 2,000 for a CCD camera, 500 for a guide scope, 250 for a guider, and another 1000 for all the other gizmos you need.
You wont be happy with either of those scopes.
I think you should stick to visual observing before you take on astrophotography.
