10:38:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:38:41 Imager is ASCOM
10:38:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:38:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230303@103655 UTC
10:38:41 Imager readout modes:
10:38:41   0 is Fast
10:38:41   1 is Normal
10:38:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:38:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:38:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:38:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:38:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
