09:33:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:33:25 Dome is MaxDome
09:33:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:33:25 Imager is ASCOM
09:33:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:33:25 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220205@092523 UTC
09:33:25 Imager readout modes:
09:33:25   0 is Fast
09:33:25   1 is Normal
09:33:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:33:25 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:33:25 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:33:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:33:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:33:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:33:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:33:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
