AstroLink 4 Micro, AstroLink 4 Bee, and AstroLink 4 Mini II now support the latest software built on the ASCOM 7 platform.
- Version 5.x.x and above of the AstroLink ASCOM drivers and panel software are exclusively compatible with ASCOM 7 or newer. These versions will continue to receive updates and new features.
- Version 3.x.x remains compatible with ASCOM 6 and 7, but will no longer receive new feature updates.
We recommend using the latest version (5.x.x or later) for optimal performance and access to ongoing enhancements.
