05:38:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:38:12 Dome is MaxDome
05:38:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
05:38:12 Imager is QSI Universal
05:38:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:38:12 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210209@053641 UTC
05:38:12 Imager readout modes:
05:38:12   0 is Image Quality
05:38:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:38:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:38:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:38:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:38:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
05:38:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
05:38:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:38:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
