09:20:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:20:12 Imager is ASCOM
09:20:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:20:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230207@091303 UTC
09:20:12 Imager readout modes:
09:20:12   0 is Fast
09:20:12   1 is Normal
09:20:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:20:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:20:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:20:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:20:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:20:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:20:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
