AstroCal Quick Start
AstroCal is a live subscription calendar.
You add it once.
It updates itself.
You donāt download it. You donāt manage it.

š„ Before You Start (Important, Please Read)
If you simply click the AstroCal link and add it like a regular calendar file, you will not receive automatic updates.
That method creates a one time static copy.
No live updates. No future changes. No magic.
AstroCal is designed to be subscribed to, not downloaded.
Take the extra minute to follow the steps below.

Do not re-add the calendar. That just makes it worse.
