04:55:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:55:45 Dome is MaxDome
04:55:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
04:55:46 Imager is QSI Universal
04:55:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:55:46 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20210205@045430 UTC
04:55:46 Imager readout modes:
04:55:46   0 is Image Quality
04:55:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:55:46 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:55:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:55:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:55:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
04:55:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
