07:27:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:27:12 Imager is ASCOM
07:27:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:27:12 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230224@072407 UTC
07:27:12 Imager readout modes:
07:27:12   0 is Fast
07:27:12   1 is Normal
07:27:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:27:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:27:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:27:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:27:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:27:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:27:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:27:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
