03:30:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:30:10 Dome is MaxDome
03:30:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:30:11 Imager is ASCOM
03:30:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:30:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220505@032910 UTC
03:30:11 Imager readout modes:
03:30:11   0 is Fast
03:30:11   1 is Normal
03:30:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:30:11 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:30:11 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:30:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:30:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
