MountWizzard4
=============

Documentation:
--------------
There is a documentation available for MW4:
https://mworion.github.io/MountWizzard4/index.html

Welcome to MountWizzard4 is a utility for 10micron users for improving the
workflow for astronomy work and imaging runs on Windows (10 and 11), OSx (Mojave
- Monterey), Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04) and some Linux ARMV7 and ARM64 distributions
(Astroberry and StellarMate). As a python application, it should run in all
environments supporting python 3.7-3.10 and PyQt5 5.15.7 as a GUI framework.

For being fully operational, MW4 needs either:

-   INDI server(s) (see: https://indilib.org) where your devices are connected to.

-   INDIGO server(s) (see: http://www.indigo-astronomy.org) where your devices
    are connected to.

-   ASCOM Alpaca remote server (see: https://ascom-standards.org/FAQs/Index.htm)
    abstracting your ASCOM devices or devices which speak native ASCOM Alpaca if
    you want to connect over IP with your environment.

-   Running versions of Sequence Generator Pro or N.I.N.A. as frontend for camera
    device.

-   For the core devices there is native ASCOM support (Windows platform only).
    Please be reminded, that ASCOM has 32bit and 64bit driver implementations
    and MW4 could also be installed in 32bit or 64 bit python environment. They
    could be not be mixed! 32bit python supports only 32bit drivers and vice versa
    . Normally this should not be an issue...

-   In addition an internet connection is used for some services which might be
    very helpful.

It is recommended to use mount firmware 3.0 or later as some
of the functions don't work with older firmware versions. It should not be a
problem using older versions. A HW pre2012 might also have some issues.
