02:06:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
02:06:23 Imager is ASCOM
02:06:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:06:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@015802 UTC
02:06:23 Imager readout modes:
02:06:23   0 is Fast
02:06:23   1 is Normal
02:06:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:06:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:06:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
