04:25:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:25:41 Imager is ASCOM
04:25:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:25:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220316@041946 UTC
04:25:42 Imager readout modes:
04:25:42   0 is Fast
04:25:42   1 is Normal
04:25:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:25:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:25:42 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:25:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:25:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
