02:38:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:38:45 Imager is ASCOM
02:38:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:38:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@023741 UTC
02:38:45 Imager readout modes:
02:38:45   0 is Fast
02:38:45   1 is Normal
02:38:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:38:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:38:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:38:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:38:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
