AstroGrid (), the UK's Virtual Observatory system, will be releasing its latest fully operational release system, 2006.3, prior to the IAU XXVI General Assembly. This poster describes the increased functionalities offered to the end user in the 2006.3 release. The key data resources and applications accessible through the AstroGrid workbench will be itemised, Details of how astronomers can gain access to the system will be given. We note the use of technologies and interoperability standards, and how use of AstroGrid gives end user access truly global resources, including large repositories of data across the UK, Europe, the USA and elsewhere. We show how the astronomer can easily discover and visualise data from any major data centre by use of the `AstroScope'. How then data from this can be stored in `MySpace' and processed using applications either on the uses local machine or on remote servers. Specific example science use cases are noted, ranging from the mining of deep field survey data to investigate the clustering of galaxies at high redshifts, to studies of active regions on our Sun. AstroGrid is ready to try out, and to use - just go to to find out how. Without registration you'll be able to use AstroScope to discover and locally visualise data. With a simple registration procedure you'll gain access to the full features of the AstroGrid Workbench - including being able to save your data and results to your MySpace virtual storage.
