11:47:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:47:01 Imager is ASCOM
11:47:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:47:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230327@114625 UTC
11:47:01 Imager readout modes:
11:47:01   0 is Fast
11:47:01   1 is Normal
11:47:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:47:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:47:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:47:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:47:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
