06:09:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:09:12 Imager is ASCOM
06:09:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:09:12 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240213@060853 UTC
06:09:12 Imager readout modes:
06:09:12   0 is Fast
06:09:12   1 is Normal
06:09:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:09:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:09:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:09:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:09:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:09:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:09:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
