05:50:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:50:34 Dome is MaxDome
05:50:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:50:34 Imager is ASCOM
05:50:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:50:34 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220514@053632 UTC
05:50:34 Imager readout modes:
05:50:34   0 is Fast
05:50:34   1 is Normal
05:50:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:50:34 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:50:34 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:50:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:50:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:50:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
