07:45:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
07:45:51 Imager is QSI Universal
07:45:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:45:51 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20201202@074527 UTC
07:45:51 Imager readout modes:
07:45:51   0 is Image Quality
07:45:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:45:51 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:45:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
