09:08:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:08:13 Dome is MaxDome
09:08:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:08:13 Imager is ASCOM
09:08:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:08:13 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20220416@090122 UTC
09:08:13 Imager readout modes:
09:08:13   0 is Fast
09:08:13   1 is Normal
09:08:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:08:13 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:08:13 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:08:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:08:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:08:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:08:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:08:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:08:18 ACPS Observation NGC_6171(1 of 1)
