Known bugs

When restoring telescope settings there will be some number of "Telescope Alert: unknown SSCN" messages that can be ignored.
When using the RotoFocusPro2 combo focus and rotation controller you select the same Com port for Rotator as you use for Focuser. In this version of Maestro, if you use this feature first select the Com port for Focus and then after that select the Com port for Rotator. The opposite order of port selection does not work.

Minimum recommended system

Maestro 4 is tested on the following minimum recommended system: Windows 10 running on an Intel i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 4GB of memory.
If your application requires compute-intensive software running on the PC with Maestro (such as planetarium or camera control software) then consider a more powerful PC than this minimum recommended system.
