03:59:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:59:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:59:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

03:59:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:59:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220515@035811 UTC
03:59:15 Imager readout modes:
03:59:15   0 is Fast
03:59:15   1 is Normal
03:59:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:59:15 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:59:15 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:59:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:59:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
