04:08:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:08:33 Imager is ASCOM
04:08:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:08:33 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220211@040758 UTC
04:08:33 Imager readout modes:
04:08:33   0 is Fast
04:08:33   1 is Normal
04:08:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:08:33 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:08:33 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:08:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:08:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:08:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:08:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:08:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
