AstroMC Download Center--- Software/Firmware Updates
Our normal support hours are: Monday - Friday 1400-1730 Eastern US Time Zone. You can contact us by email at any time; we try to service emails promptly. Beginning with Version 1.9.6 and by pre-arranged time, we can log on to your observatory computer, and assist you in real-time.

If you are having difficulty with downloads, installation or operation, please leave word by telephone or preferably by email at Support@fostersystems.com. We will make arrangements to help you get started.

Beginning with Release 1.9.8 you must update to ASCOM platform Version 6.0 to take full advantage of the updates. if you have not done that until now; this is important for Windows Vista and Windows 7 PC's. Keep in mind that we have tested the Prolific driver that we have posted on this site. The drivers are changing rapidly because of Windows 7 (and its changes). We'll let you know if there's a driver change that you should accept.

AstroAlert Update Package Release 1.4.0

This is the driver for the AMC-101 AstroAlert weather monitor when integrated in standalone mode using our AMC-100M mini-Hubdate. The AMC-101 can be configured as a Rain Detector with Ambient Light only. Options include: Sky Temperature, Ambient Temperature and Humidity, and Wind Conditions. This Driver supports the standalone method of integration which requires an AMC-100M. For users of our AMC-100, AMC-100s and AMC-100b series hardware, the AMC-101 plugs directly into those hubs, so this driver is not required.
