06:31:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:31:44 Dome is MaxDome
06:31:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:31:44 Imager is ASCOM
06:31:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:31:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220316@063110 UTC
06:31:44 Imager readout modes:
06:31:44   0 is Fast
06:31:44   1 is Normal
06:31:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:31:44 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:31:44 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:31:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:31:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:31:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
