05:32:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:32:41 Dome is MaxDome
05:32:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:32:41 Imager is ASCOM
05:32:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:32:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220402@053139 UTC
05:32:41 Imager readout modes:
05:32:41   0 is Fast
05:32:41   1 is Normal
05:32:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:32:41 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:32:41 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:32:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:32:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:32:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
