09:12:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:12:19 Imager is ASCOM
09:12:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:12:19 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220316@090646 UTC
09:12:19 Imager readout modes:
09:12:19   0 is Fast
09:12:19   1 is Normal
09:12:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:12:19 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:12:19 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:12:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:12:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:12:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:12:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:12:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
