08:28:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
08:28:16 Imager is ASCOM
08:28:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:28:16 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20211216@082647 UTC
08:28:17 Imager readout modes:
08:28:17   0 is Fast
08:28:17   1 is Normal
08:28:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:28:17 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:28:17 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:28:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:28:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:28:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
08:28:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:28:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
