10:54:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:54:52 Dome is MaxDome
10:54:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
10:54:52 Imager is QSI Universal
10:54:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:54:52 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20210209@104527 UTC
10:54:52 Imager readout modes:
10:54:52   0 is Image Quality
10:54:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:54:52 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:54:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:54:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:54:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
10:54:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
10:54:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:54:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
