You can check here:
Check Lens Compatibility with Your Pentax Camera

However, I am 100% sure that any DAL Pentax lens is compatible with a K-3 III. Astrotracer is compatible with any lens I guess.

Pentax cameras are compatible with every Pentax lens. This is one advantage versus Canikon...

Pentax bayonet lenses labeled "SMC Pentax" are referred to as "K" lenses in the table below. Other Pentax bayonet lenses have the lens designation as a part of their name as in "SMC Pentax-FA".
Note that "star" lenses work like their "non-star" counterparts unless they are singled out in the table below. So for compatibility of a DA* lens which is not singled out, look under DA lenses, etc.
Exceptions:
FA and F "soft" lenses behave like M lenses in terms of metering.

I can't tell what lens with the info provided, but, AFAIK, only fisheye is not supported.

You can download the instruction pdf here

If talking about astrotracer 3, then not all lenses are supported. But with O-GPS1/2 then all lenses are supported.
