10:29:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:29:23 Dome is MaxDome
10:29:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:29:24 Imager is ASCOM
10:29:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:29:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220425@102438 UTC
10:29:24 Imager readout modes:
10:29:24   0 is Fast
10:29:24   1 is Normal
10:29:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:29:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:29:24 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:29:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:29:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:29:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:29:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:29:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
