We are pleased to announce a new release of the Data Central system (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/9bbQCyoNVrc1nqwxUZ3CaV?domain=datacentral.org.au), which will go into production next week. Data Central is part of the AAL-funded Optical Data Centre. This release includes a set of new features, which are outlined below.

If you would like to include your data set in Data Central, please contact us. We offer a range of tools to curate and manage data both during and after your observations.

Thanks,
Simon
