It comes with PLAY, the Prima Luce AstrophotographY software.

ARCO comes with PLAY, the all-in-one and easy to use astrophotography software that allows you to rotate the camera to the perfect angle to frame of your target if your telescope is installed on an equatorial mount or to automatically de-rotate the field if you use alt-az mounts without a wedge for long exposure astrophotography. PLAY allows you to configurate your telescope by selecting OTA and mount type and by connecting to any camera, autoguider, mount, and filter wheel that is provided with ASCOM drivers (tested with ASCOM platform 6.4 and later). In order to use PLAY you have to have at least ESATTO focuser or SESTO SENSO 2 focusing motor and it natively supports ARCO rotator and ECCO environmental module! And if you install PLAY in the EAGLE computer, it automatically adds more advanced features!
