04:41:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:41:58 Dome is MaxDome
04:41:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
04:41:58 Imager is QSI Universal
04:41:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:41:58 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210224@044027 UTC
04:41:58 Imager readout modes:
04:41:58   0 is Image Quality
04:41:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:41:58 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:41:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:41:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:42:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
04:42:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
04:42:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:42:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
