04:28:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:28:18 Dome is MaxDome
04:28:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:28:18 Imager is ASCOM
04:28:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:28:18 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220506@042750 UTC
04:28:18 Imager readout modes:
04:28:18   0 is Fast
04:28:18   1 is Normal
04:28:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:28:18 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:28:18 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:28:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:28:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:28:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
