Future Compatibility
We are committed to the ongoing support of AstroLab, and the continuous development of its features, performance and compatibility with our latest software instruments.
Ensuring new instruments work perfectly on AstroLab takes time, therefore, they may not always be available for use on AstroLab upon release.
AstroLab is a highly versatile and complete instrument and we will endeavour to release key updates regularly to make it even more capable and powerful.
