The Astrolabe Project

After much hard procrastination, I am happy to announce the release of version 3.0 of the Astrolabe Generator.

The old Flash version was difficult to keep improving, and is no longer working in any case. The new, downloadable version has several bugs removed, and much expanded capabilities:

• Save to folder or zip file
• Print to EPS printer if available
• Support for 90N to 90S
• Expanded range of quadrants.

The good news is that it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The bad news is that some of you will have to install Java in order to run it (There is a link on the download page).

Switching back to Java will allow me to keep updating and improving the tool. and as always, I’m looking for input (see address for comments under Links). Plans for the next version include:

• Support for multiple languages
• Output to PDF
• Output to SVG
• More astrolabe options
• More quadrants – For example a Gunter’s Quadrant.
