07:14:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:14:20 Dome is MaxDome
07:14:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
07:14:20 Imager is ASCOM
07:14:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:14:20 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20210709@070809 UTC
07:14:20 Imager readout modes:
07:14:20   0 is Fast
07:14:20   1 is Normal
07:14:20 Autoguiding is disabled
07:14:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:14:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
07:14:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
07:14:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:14:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
