06:52:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:52:23 Dome is MaxDome
06:52:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:52:23 Imager is ASCOM
06:52:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:52:23 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220421@063831 UTC
06:52:23 Imager readout modes:
06:52:23   0 is Fast
06:52:23   1 is Normal
06:52:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:52:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:52:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:52:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:52:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:52:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
