07:54:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:54:48 Imager is ASCOM
07:54:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:54:48 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230203@075132 UTC
07:54:48 Imager readout modes:
07:54:48   0 is Fast
07:54:48   1 is Normal
07:54:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:54:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:54:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:54:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:54:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:54:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:54:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:54:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
